Hi Shirley- There are as many(and more) types of Buddhism as there are Christianity. There is a belief in a special being in Buddhism. It is possibly more a world soul or a logos like the word in the gospel of John. In general our meaning of the words "supreme" and "being"(which we very closely tie to "doing" )are differently understood in eastern religions. Sometimes we see our western Christian God as a supreme "doer" A very special servant that will fetch us things. Buddhism might believe there is a "supreme be er( yes I see the joke) and might be content that "God" is. A Zen Buddhist would say "there is no Zen master,there is only Zen. Did that help?-CVM
