Creator in Buddhism

Creator in Buddhism is an idea that everything in the universe was created by something bigger than itself. It's kind of like an all-powerful being or force—an entity that is all-knowing and always there. Buddhists don't believe in a specific creator, but they do have beliefs about how our world came to be. Buddhists believe that all of the beings and things in this world have a shared cause—the universe itself. They say that the universe is constantly changing, and that everything in it has come from the same source, just like a river that has many different branches. Buddhists also believe that whatever is created will eventually pass away, and that everything is connected in a cycle of birth and death.
