Скачать или смотреть Are Tibetan Deities Real or Symbols? (The Answer Lies in a Diamond)

Tibetan Buddhism is filled with wrathful deities and serene goddesses, but isn't Buddhism an atheistic philosophy? Are you supposed to worship them as real gods, or dismiss them as mere symbols? This video explores the profound "third possibility" of Vajrayāna Buddhism: that these figures are neither separate from you nor just in your head.

Using the beautiful analogy of your own true nature as a flawless diamond, we'll reveal how these deities are the living, energetic reflections of your own mind. Discover how this view transforms spiritual practice from begging a god for help to embodying the enlightened qualities—like courage, wisdom, and compassion—that are already inherent within you. You'll also learn a simple practice called "Embodying a Quality" to connect with this transformative power directly.
