The difference between believing in Buddhism and believing in God.

The reasons for getting started are similar, but over time, the mentality and results of their respective expectations and prayers are gradually different. ...

Buddhists who truly believe in Buddhism and believe in Buddhism usually pray for spiritual improvement and freedom ... The key point is to practice and pursue spiritual life. Value spirit over material things.

Those who believe in God often pray for God's help, so that their real life in the world can be lucky and avoid evil and pain ... They emphasize human laws and pursue wealth, peace and happiness. Value material over spirit.

This is the most obvious difference. Therefore, Buddhism has accumulated a lot of classics of life wisdom, while Shintoism often develops relatively few doctrines, but more spells and rituals (such as Christian worship, fellowship, exorcism ... or Taoist Maoshan, Luo Yin observation, meditation and divination ...).

However, after all, people can't completely pursue the spiritual level without paying attention to the satisfaction of material life. Therefore, after Buddhism spread to China, the Convenient Method was adopted, and many rituals and spells were developed (such as holding spells, blessing, Mahayana Buddhism crossing over, disaster relief, etc ...).

As for the belief in pure land, in fact, Buddhism finally emphasizes the pure land of idealism, that is, the heart is the Buddha ... the pure land of the Quartet is just a convenient way for all beings to understand easily and then pursue it.

The paradise referred to by Shinto is also a way to attract the belief of all beings, emphasizing the degree of enjoyment and happiness far more than the status quo in the world.

All religions should say that their deities are higher than others, so I won't comment here and respect my own explanation and understanding. ...

I hope the above personal views and analysis can be helpful.
