Do Buddhists believe in a god?

If by “god” one means a creator of the universe or a being guiding ultimate human fate, then Buddhists do not believe in such. Buddhism emphasises the concept of conditional causation where everything in this world comes into being according to different sets of causes and conditions. Plants and flowers grow spring, summer, autumn and winter constitute the yearly cycle of the four seasons human beings go through the process of birth, old age, illness and death.
