I think it's imporant to note here, that current Tibetan Buddhism doesn't worship "deities" as stated. The Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism is a symbol and reminder of the long-term goal -- enlightenment. The deity or god reference to the flag comes from the Bon religion only, not modern Buddhism. This is my understanding... maybe someone with a greater knowledge of this could verify the accuracy of the section on the religious meanings of the flag? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.177.214.231 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

that is, shall we say, one way of putting it, and a way the Dalai Lama has put it. But a lot of the activity in Tantric Buddhism would normally be construed in Western terms as worshipping deities - I think you need a high level of Buddist theology to explain why it is not or might not be, and not all practicioners of the religion would have that.
