What is the name of the evil one in Buddhism?

There is someone who is similar to the Christian devil in Buddhism, but I don't know what he is called. What's his name, and what is his story or origins according to Buddhism?|||No one is immune becoming a devil


This life we might be a good guy, next life we can be bad apples.


This is called Law of Anatta.


The only way to get out of uncertainty is to walk the middle path.|||First it should be noted that Buddhism is as far removed from what the Buddha taught as Christianity is from what Jesus taught.





In the Buddhist faith/religion the 'evil one' is desire. But this is not what the Buddha taught. Desire is natural to all living creatures. It is pure, like passion. The 'evil one' is wanting. It is what the thinking mind does to desire that makes it impure or 'evil' as you call it. In reality there is no evil or devil. There are only devilish religions which invent such rubbish.|||The main antagonist to a Buddhist's faith is desire, often personified as the spirit Mara.|||Buddha.|||Rebecca Black.|||"Rush"|||Mara, Lord of Death?
