Buddhism does not concern itself with God or Gods. It takes the view that these are matters that are unknowable and incomprehensible, at least to a normal human being, and it more productive to engage in the practices of Buddhism, such as meditation, than to speculate about the existence or nature of God. The Buddha himself is considered a normal human being who achieved a state of enlightenment, something that is also available to other humans beings, and is indeed the ultimate goal in Buddhism.

Buddhists pay reverence to the Buddha and other figures, and to a Western-minded person that might look like worship, but it's more in the way that one might revere the image of a saint than of a God.

As I understand it... and I am not Buddhist.... Buddhists recognize that there are Gods but they do not recognize one. While Buddhism is a religion it is equally a study. They study Buddha.

With that in mind, this is where their view of God is derived: "At the age of 29, the Buddha stopped praying to the gods to end his suffering and the suffering of others. He left his family and friends, went to the edge of the forest, took off all his clothes and jewelry, covered his naked body with rags of cloth, cut off his hair and started to meditate.
