    Transforming Gods and Demons

    Suryagupta’s talk explores the story of Padmasambhava, the great tantric master invited to Tibet when Buddhism could not take root through reason and philosophy alone. She describes how Padmasambhava confronted and transformed the unseen forces of Maras, demons, and gods, turning their energies towards the Dharma rather than away from it. The talk urges us to face our own inner and collective forces with courage, love, ritual, and devotion, calling on Padmasambhava’s blessing for personal and societal transformation.
