Understanding the Buddha's True Message
You absolutely can follow Buddhism without believing in the Buddha as a deity or a supernatural being. The Buddha's core message emphasized personal experience, understanding, and practice over blind faith. His teachings provide practical tools for reducing suffering, managing emotions, and cultivating inner peace, regardless of one's religious beliefs. The essence of Buddhism lies in applying these principles in daily life, focusing on mindfulness, wisdom, and compassion, rather than adherence to dogma or worship of a divine figure. The path is open to anyone seeking to reduce their own suffering and cultivate a more fulfilling life.
