Revision history [back]

Satan is another name for Maya. And Maya does not exist as a being or even as a force. Maya is simply a universal law like as gravity. The net of Maya is all inb the head. This is my interpretation. Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ were both tempted in semi-similiar ways but Buddha called it "Maya" and Jesus called it "Satan".

Satan may exist seperate from Maya though as many Christians believe. Satan would be a high-ranking demon, is all.

I've struggled with this question myself, coming from a Christian family, and this is what I found.
