Thank you! Yes, I think your right. I got this list from "The Complete Book of Buddha‘s Lists -- Explained" and I did a little editing because some things sounded a bit off. I was hoping someone might know a different translation.

<p>Unlike all other gods and deities, Buddha blesses everyone on this earth without caring who is believing in his techniques (Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha). But god wouldn't bless someone unless he starts praying. </p>

<p>I read about Buddha and his Dhamma from Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. God wouldn't bless unless you wouldn't pray. God is just like wanting bribe from the worshiper, god examines it's devotee. Also It wouldn't accept a person as his devotee unless he wouldn't convert his religion that god is made for. </p>

<p>But I'm sure Buddha blesses everyone and until now. Is Buddha still blessing us all human beings?             </p>
