Buddha does not demand belief

The Buddha has not merely awakened to the supreme reality, he also presents his higher knowledge that is superior to that of “all gods logical disguise and mythical clothing. Here, however, it is given in so cogent a form that it presents itself as positively and self evedent to the person to is avble to follow him. For this reason the Buddha does not demand any belief, but promises knowledge.
