In this site, Amiyan treats Buddha as God. Are Buddha and God the same? In a spiritual sense, they are because "I saw the same light in them!" But I dare to try to prove it logically.
"God is love." the Bible says. So
God = love (1)
Next, "Buddha is mercy." the Buddhist scripture says. So
Buddha = mercy (2)
Then, if
love = mercy (3)
(1), (2), (3) lead
God = Buddha
in logic. Now, whether love equals mercy or not, let's check the formula (3).
Love is to cherish you as myself. For your happiness, to sacrifice myself. To feel like your happiness is my happiness, your grief is my grief, and to see myself in you. And then, I will see God in you. And you will see God in me. That is, you and I are together as one in love. That is, love is a motive power for us to be together as one.
The next is mercy. "mercy" is the translation of Japanese Buddhist word "jihi". Jihi's "ji" means to give pleasure to others. Jihi's "hi" means to remove sorrow and pain from others. That is, you see other's delight as your own delight, other's grief as your own grief. It is also to see yourself in others. At that moment, you finds Buddha in others and others find Buddha in you. That is, you and others are together as one in "jihi"(mercy). That is, mercy(jihi) is a motive power for us to unite as one.
Now that we get here, we can see that love equals to mercy.
love = mercy
therefore,
God = Buddha
is proved.
