I have some experience with Budhism. The temple I have been to they prostrate to Budha statues like muslims do to God. They ask Budha for forgiveness and treat him like Theists treat God.
There is this sutra that mentions Avalokitesvara bodhisatva(bodisatva being a great being with powers) and they believe that just a mention of the name of that bodhisatva can free you from any suffering. In that sutra that I read it says that that Avalokitesvara bodhisatva manifests in all realms and can do preaty much everything in relation to sentient beings.
In a book by one of the heads of Chinese mahayana Budhism I read that one of the ways to create negative karma is by following the wrong paths wich preaty much tells me that theres is the only right path wich contradicts the aleged Budhas saying not to critisize other religions.
Some psychologists today will tell you that meditation is very good for you while others will gigle if you mention it to them. Personaly I think that meditation can do you good(not if theists are right) since there is aparently a lot of scientific research been done on the subject.
In Budhism like Theism you act out of fear of lower realms. Only in Budhism they are not forever. So when your bad karma is exhausted you go to the better realm.
Ok, it did have good efects on my personanlity thinking like a Budhist but so did Islam. Both of them have made a good person and because of Islam in the past for instance I have done some realy good deeds, however that doesn't make eather of them true.
Thanks
