Buddhism is practiced in many countries, with many cultures. The identification of deities in different countries, and among the different denominations of Buddhism varies. The Sanskrit word "deva" refers to any number of non-human beings with greater or different powers than humans. That word is also used in Tibetan scripts, and in some form in other Asian languages. There are many different names for the different devas.

It advocated an instantaneous appreciation of a situation and immediate action. This made them immediately ready to strike down a foe or follow their masters most bloody orders without a qualm.The temples of Shaolin Buddhists were the center of martial arts training in ancient China. The Bodhidharma advocated this training to give them the strength to mediatate and to defend themselves from bandits. In the case the ability to defend onself is not to be confused with being nonviolent.
