The Buddha's Enlightenment & Brahma (God)
There have been misconceptions by certain quarters that Buddhas were (and will be) 'sent by' or that a Buddha's Enlightenment was 'given' by Brahma (God) (as taught in some popular philosophies). This error in understanding the Dhamma-Vinaya is often the result of 'wanting to see a deity behind everything' resulting in 'cherry-picking' (while ignoring the large body of teachings that provide the complete understanding of the subject), 'seeing things where there is nothing there' and 'blind to things which are in front of them' (quoted in their writings).
The following is a sampling from the Tipitaka and sharings from respected members of the Bhikkhu Saṅgha on the Buddha's Enlightenment & Brahma (God).
