Would you please talk about the advantages and disadvantages of deifying Buddhist thought?

Pro: Let ordinary people have confidence.

Disadvantages: people are obsessed with magical powers, don't think about progress, and don't aim at seeing nature clearly.

There are advantages and disadvantages, so we should weigh them. To reach the average person, it is necessary to say that people are blessed. Therefore, the Buddha said that "the karma of three generations" said that the Buddha had printed all kinds of merits, magnified the light, summoned all beings, surrendered to the four demons, and had magical powers.

Buddhism has declined in India, because it only talks about the truth of sacred justice, and does not combine with secular truth to educate all beings, which has become a philosophical speculation. Finally, under the dual "apotheosis" impulse of Hinduism and Islam, Buddhism went to the road of extinction. The words "high righteousness, Lego and widowhood" sum up the reasons for the demise of Indian Buddhism. At present, if Mahayana Buddhism in China is not reformed, it will follow the footsteps of India and be replaced by Christianity or Islam. This is not to understand the importance of "deifying" many people.

The Tibetan Secret was formed on the deathbed of Indian Buddhism, and it hobbled in the stormy weather, so we have a deep understanding of the pros and cons. Therefore, in "Tibetan Secret", you can see colorful and deified methods, and thus a variety of convenient methods have been formed, with the aim of "grasping with desire first, and then making it a Buddha's wisdom".

Buddha's enlightenment has three characteristics: great magical power, supreme wisdom and compassion. Without these three qualities, we can't fully measure all beings. See anonymous reply, will there be a way to reflect on China Mahayana?
