I have a soft spot for the topic of people who are dual faith. It’s weird, you know. If you’re an atheist, you get a thumbs up from me. If you’re religious with one faith, you get a raised eyebrow from me. And if you are dual faith, you get two thumbs up from me. It just feels like you’re more open-minded if you are more than one faith.

    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.
