Some of us devoted to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha find it effortlessly easy to find a place for God in the teachings.
We feel free to employ the language of God knowing God fits in harmoniously with the body of the teachings.
Others have no feeling connection with God. Such people also have the freedom to explore the Dharma without any reference to God.
The Buddha-Dharma-Sangha dwells free from being labelled as theistic, atheistic or agnostic. This is one of the precious and beautiful aspects of the Three Jewels.
