I don't understand how dual faith works Alot of the major religions of the world have core beliefs that contradict each other The Islamic faith for example has the core belief, God is one and one alone and he was not born, has no children Christianity is about accepting Jesus as one's lord and savior and that he is the son of god. You cannot believe one faith without disbelieving the other, "dual faith" cannot work like that I gave an example of the two largest religions in the world and how you cannot be Christian and Muslim at the same time, which I thought was obvious But plz do tell me an example of a "dual faith" that can exist without violating one belief from the other. I am sure none exist and this concept itself is quite bizzare and fundamentally paradoxical
Judaism and Buddhism. They even have a name, "jubu". Robert Downy Jr. of all people went into length on this.
Judaism is a strict Monotheistic religion Buddhism is often described as a nontheistic religion, no mention of one Monotheistic creator diety. however some teachings describe "devas" as divine beings who are also in a perpetual cycle like life is, which is the basic principle of Buddhism and such is anything but a Monotheistic religion
So no, you can't be Buddhist and follow Judaism at the same time or whatever since believing in no one creator entity violates Judaism. So this "Jubu" thing doesn't really make sense if one thinks about the basic beliefs of both religions
Well, it exists. Some sects of Buddhism don't consider the devas/asuras gods. Buddha himself went on to say divinity on its own shouldn't inspire worship.
