I received an empowerment for the medicine buddha 2 years ago. The other day, I did a medicine Buddha Sadhana the other day. I was really moved, and honeslty healed a bit spiritually, also I was in awe of the amount of worship of Gods within the Sadhana Tantra / Mantra itself.

A rather Buddhist take on the Shin Megami Tensei series that reflects some of my own views, give or take a few. A simplified but decent explanation of Nirvana/Moksha and Mitra / Maitreya Buddha. In the series, one can see via psychology, metaphysics, and faith how comparative religion and proper practice can bring Oneness with God/Dharmakaya via Apotheosis. In this, the Gods and even Asura or (Demons) are divine guides within you and all around you but still remain individual entities themselves and a reflection of God as you are a reflection of God. (metagenetics and metaphoric nature explain this). The biblical "made in his image" is a perennial and metagentic truth. As God expresses himself in multiplicity so too does his image reflect in each individually , yet with similar grouping between each. Same with similar pantheons but with different evolutionary expressions by the different people. Traversing the wisdom, challenges, and compassion of these divine via devotion and accepting them as Yidam or supreme Gurus that are your examples, one seeks Apotheosis, Nirvana, Moksha, and Dharmakฤya.

"Comfort can be your greatest enemy to your freedom.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with comfort, and may you always have it, but if you become excessively attached to it, and if it is making you lazy, you will not move on the Buddhist path.
If this happens, you need to contemplate the uncertain time of your inevitable death, and your potentially endless rebirths and suffering if you do not make the most out of the precious human existence that you have right now."
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche

Rant: Buddhism =/= Life denying, Atheistic, anti-Local culture. This is a response to a few replies and posts I have seen recently as well as trends / stereotypes regarding Buddhism I have encountered. https://www.patreon.com/posts/90087843

Guru Rinpoche painted and gilded!
The gilding is just a gold finish and not proper gold leaf (It's expensive and it's my first time gilding).
Completed using liquid watercolours, gouache, pens and inks.

Buddhist Gods were Greek Gods to be honest. From Bactria, to Alexander's time, and the Kushan Empire the majority Aryan Gods of those regions were considered to be of the same pantheon or reflections of the same dieites.
On the right his Ares very much matches what I think the Scythian Ares would look like and is a spitting image of a Greco styled Arya ฤryฤcalanฤtha Vidyฤrฤja
