Question

“Buddha regarded the social world as the creation of humans rather than of divine origin.” Explain the statement.

Answer 1

The statement implies that, in Buddha's view, humanity, not gods, created the social world that is, how people coexist and structure society. Simply said, Buddha held that rather than having these things bestowed upon or dictated by gods or other heavenly creatures, mankind are in charge of establishing their own communities, laws, and customs. Instead of attributing everything to supernatural powers, this viewpoint emphasizes the significance of human decisions and actions in forming the world in which we live.
