Improvement[edit]

see note 27. of David B. Gray's essay Compassionate Violence?: On the Ethical Implications of Tantric Buddhist Ritual, Journal of Buddhist Ethics, Volume 14, 2007 "Richard Kohn reported that a contemporary Tibetan practitioner of rituals of exorcism of this type, Trulshik Rinpoche, defends this practice not by denying the reality of the demons, but by asserting his ability to transfer their spirits to the Buddhist paradises, which implies both a compassionate motivation and the extraordinary spiritual capacity of a Bodhisattva (2001:81-82).
