<Thomas, regardless of the meaning of the name, and regardless of how a particular heavenly "character" is regarded in any Buddhist tradition, in the Buddhist practice, Buddhists respect all heavenly beings, but do not generally associate with any.>

I think we are supposed to respect all _living_ beings, regardless whether they are earthy, heavenly or something else, and that most devas deserve our compassion more than our adoration, as a too pleasant life is not conducive to liberating wisdom.
