Retrieved 19 May The Vision of the Dhamma. In Buddhist literature, the belief in a creator god issara-nimmana-vada is frequently mentioned and rejected, along with other causes wrongly adduced to explain the origin of the world; as, for instance, world-soul, time, nature, etc. God-belief, however, is placed in the same category as those morally destructive wrong views which deny the kammic results of action, assume a fortuitous origin of man and nature, or teach absolute determinism.
These views are said to be altogether pernicious, having definite bad results due to their effect on ethical conduct. Blackburn editor , Jeffrey Samuels editor. In Access To Insight.

This shouldn't be done. One cannot righteously refer to oneself as a contemplative. Retrieved May 26, The suttas describe thirty-one distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during this long wandering through samsara.
These range from the extraordinarily dark, grim, and painful hell realms to the most sublime, refined, and exquisitely blissful heaven realms. Existence in every realm is impermanent; in Buddhist cosmology there is no eternal heaven or hell. Beings are born into a particular realm according to both their past kamma and their kamma at the moment of death. When the kammic force that propelled them to that realm is finally exhausted, they pass away, taking rebirth once again elsewhere, according to their kamma.
And so the wearisome cycle continues. The Buddha Teaches Deities".
Teacher of the Devas. Many people worship Maha Brahma as the supreme and eternal creator God, but for the Buddha he is merely a powerful deity still caught within the cycle of repeated existence. In point of fact, "Maha Brahma" is a role or office filled by different individuals at different periods.
Devas, like humans, develop faith in the Buddha by practicing his teachings. Using various similes from the animal world, this god showed his admiration and reverence for the Exalted One.
The sutta records a long audience he had with the Blessed One which culminated in his attainment of stream-entry. Their conversation is an excellent example of the Buddha as "teacher of devas," and shows all beings how to work for Nibbana. That is why I did not say in their presence that I, too, don't know where the four great elements So you have acted wrongly, acted incorrectly, in bypassing the Blessed One in search of an answer to this question elsewhere.

Divine retribution
He bade Venus Aphrodite , in the form of an eagle, pursue him; he, changed to a swan as if in flight from the eagle, took refuge with Nemesis and lighted in her lap. Nemesis did not thrust him away, but holding him in her arms, fell into a deep sleep. While she slept, Jupiter [Zeus] embraced her and then flew away. Because he was seen by men flying high in the sky, they said he was put in the stars.
To make this really true, Jupiter put the swan flying and the eagle pursuing in the sky. But Nemesis, as if wedded to the tribe of birds, when her months were ended, bore an egg. Mercurius Mercury Hermes took it away and carried it to Sparta and threw it in Leda's lap. From it sprang Helen, who excelled all other girls in beauty. One source of the myth says that Nemesis was the mother of the Telchines , whom others say were children of Pontus and Gaea or Thalassa.
Although a respected goddess, Nemesis brought much sorrow to mortals such as Echo and Narcissus. Narcissus was a very beautiful and arrogant hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia , who disdained the ones who loved him. Nemesis lured him to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was only an image. He was unable to leave the beauty of his reflection and he eventually died.
A festival called Nemeseia by some identified with the Genesia was held at Athens.

Rohde , Psyche, , i. At Smyrna there were two manifestations of Nemesis, more akin to Aphrodite than to Artemis. The reason for this duality is hard to explain. It is suggested that they represent two aspects of the goddess, the kindly and the implacable, or the goddesses of the old city and the new city refounded by Alexander.
The martyrology Acts of Pionius , set in the " Decian persecution " of AD —51, mentions a lapsed Smyrnan Christian who was attending to the sacrifices at the altar of the temple of these Nemeses. Nemesis was one of several tutelary deities of the drill-ground as Nemesis campestris. Modern scholarship offers little support for the once-prevalent notion that arena personnel such as gladiators , venatores and bestiarii were personally or professionally dedicated to her cult.
Rather, she seems to have represented a kind of "Imperial Fortuna " who dispensed Imperial retribution on the one hand, and Imperially subsidised gifts on the other; both were functions of the popular gladiatorial Ludi held in Roman arenas. In the third century AD, there is evidence of the belief in an all-powerful Nemesis-Fortuna.
She was worshipped by a society called Hadrian's freedmen. Ammianus Marcellinus includes her in a digression on Justice following his description of the death of Gallus Caesar.
