They believe in lower and higher beings. devas, hungry ghosts, ...
I’ve been thinking more and more lately that dogs are hungry ghosts right now
Hungry ghosts constantly seek to quench their unquenchable thirst. some humans do resemble them. not dogs though.

The best discussion I could dig up is here, with Q'uo contrasting the teachings of Jesus and the Buddha. The TL;DR is that, in Q'uo's view, neither was teaching the LOO specifically. Rather, Jesus was teaching Love and Buddha was teaching Wisdom - both useful in their own ways for those seeking awakening or reunification.
Yeah, but why would buddha teach wisdom when mankind hadn't learned unconditional love yet? this has always confused me.
Sufism focuses on both.
