A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities. — His Holiness the Dalai Lama
This quote displays the humanistic atheism in Tibetan Buddhism, and in monastic Buddhism proper.
Yet the Absolute that I have refered to elsewhere on my blog is the closest to describing Heaven.
Though the Pure Land is not a Buddhist heaven, but is its own world apart from reality as it is, and very remote from the reality as it is supposed to according most-non-Buddhists, especially atheists, theists, Deists, and even pagans and devil-worshipers.
I'm excluding satanists, as I only believe LaVey satanists exists.
Furthermore, the so-called satanists who practice any kind of ritual sacrifice involving animals and sometimes humans, are not satanists but devil worshipers who practice diabolism, which includes the violent sacrifice of innocent sentient beings, be it a goat or a pretty naked woman.
The atheists and their complements tend to have problems distinguishing reality that they suppose exists from reality as it is.
