Nowhere does Buddhism admit the existence of a Creator God, or Supreme Being, nor does it hold that there are any other superhuman beings worthy of worship. Original Buddhism had no temples, no altars or sacrifices, no priests, no prayers, no rituals, and no religious rites of any kind. Buddhism does not claim divine origin or superhuman intervention of any kind, but is, by its own account, the product of human endeavor.
