Gods and Buddhism
When reading about Buddhism, and the Buddha's enlightenment in particular, I've come across multiple mentions of gods (Sahampati for example).
Where do these gods come from, and are the stories they're mentioned in intended to be taken literally?
For example, am I expected to literally believe that Sahampati convinced the Buddha to teach the path to enlightenment?
