All sages, masters, prophets, and saints had the same problem and struggled with it: trying to explain something that can not be put into words. That's why Zen Buddhism originally rejected scriptures, sutras, etc., and totally relied on experience so did Buddha.
Buddhism is all around misunderstood. Buddha taught Anatta, the no self, the no soul. That you have no soul of permanence so the entire teaching of reincarnation as most people understand it is quite silly. What he taught cause and effect. Buddha did not believe in god nor disbelieve in god. He said he would not name it as if it has a name it will have an opposite, no opposite exists so we leave it unnamed. What is beyond material is soul, what is beyond soul is left unnamed. To be a follower of Buddha is as silly is to be a Christian or a Krishan. All these people said to be yourself, why be a follower?
@Bhagwan.Harambe you have probably misunderstood the 'god' in buddhism ..In Tipitaka there are multiple suttas where Budha him self taught that believing in a creator god is wrong.He has clearly rejected the GOD... Sources : Brahmajala sutta, Titttha sutta The idea that " buddha was silent about god " was made by hindus and promoted it because they didn't want to accept that Buddha was against their main concepts..So they made a lie and now world is believing that lie..
@ @ right. He said behind material is the spiritual, behind the spiritual is that which cannot be named, he said to name it is to create an opposite, which it has no opposites. One of us is misunderstood, that’s for sure! Buddha and Jesus would simply kill themself if they came back, if they saw what had been done to their message. “If you see the Buddha on the road kill him” so why are you hanging on and calling yourself a Buddhist? You should read the Buddhist parable 5 idiots and a boat!
