The practice of subduing demons (video)
Master Sheng Yen (GDD-1111, DVD, 1/15/17); CC Liu, Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
The woeful realms of hungry ghosts, demons, and evil spirits can become bothersome.
The practice of subduing demons is actually harmful to demons and ghosts
Catholic Christians want to kill and cast out.
Buddhism advocates loving-kindness and compassion (metta and karuna) in delivering all beings, rather than attempting to fight, subdue, or "defeat" demons, malevolent spirits, poltergeists, and bothersome ghosts. More online courses: youtube.com/user/DDMTV05.
Now you've really pissed me off! The haunting begins.
