Ganesh in Buddhism?

[Guest guest]

This list seems very quiet. Or am I not getting my mail again?

 

Does anyone here know about Ganesha's role in Tibetan Buddhism? I've

seen him being stomped on by Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. Why

he do that to my Ganesh, huh? :-)

only message I can interpret is that Ganesh represents an outside god and most

buddhism teaches the lack of a god and that all is found within ones self. To a

buddhist

Ganesh may seem like a crutch or an outside support or attachment. This view I think

is very hippocritacle concidering how many Boddhisatvas and shaktis are

represented in the Tibetan Buddhist sect. I dont know if its a fact but Ive

heard that some Japanese

Zen Buddhist worship Ganesh. It really suprises me to hear about Buddhist bad

mouthing any other religion be it through words or pictures. It troubles me

because I am

a big believer in the Buddhist teachings but I also love Ganesh and consider him

to be the supreme ideal of buddha hood. Ill have to research this further.
