James Baldwin wrote, “If the concept or God has any validity or use, it can only be to make us larger, freer and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of him.” Buddhism’s foundation is deeply rooted in the hope of ending the suffering of all living beings. If we replace the word “God” with the word “Dharma” in the above quote it becomes something that could easily have been said by the Buddha.
