In Christianity, the Christian God is the creator of all.
In Hinduism, Brahma is the creator of this universe.
But in Buddhism, there is no beginning and no end.
We create the universe through our own minds and through our karma.
In Buddhism we don't see things as subject and object,
although we talk that way in conventional society.
In Christianity, God created the world in seven days.
In science, the big bang made all of this.
But Buddhism we make all of this every day with our minds and our karma.
We create our own reality.
For example, first you think that you want Chinese food.
Then you say that you want Chinese food.
So you go to a Chinese restaurant.
That's a simple example.
But if you are conscious of that all day long, it is a powerful tool.
Then you have complete control over your life and your destiny.
The problem is that we do too many things unconsciously.
