New to forum[]  I have a question.  A few months back I did a Tarot Reading for someone and this person was involved with someone who figured heavily in the Reading.  This person was also what I call Dark.  Since then I've become increasingly aware of a psychic attack.  I've even started reading about Christianity and Spiritual Warfare and I'm a Buddhist monk!  Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I saw a Shadow Being in waking consciousness while I was at work!!  Now tonight, I realized that whatever this is, this Darkness, if you will, is operating through my parents!  I was well aware of it and I acknowledged its influence over them at which it withdrew, it knowing I was aware of it.  Anyway, I've heard of testing the spirits and now it seems as if the spirits are testing me.  So, I'm wondering is evil, demons, Dark spirits, all of it, only subject to Christian doctrines?  Does it predate Christianity?  Is it subject to Holy objects or Divine energy?  And my main question is this:  How do Tibetan Buddhists address the issue of evil, Dark spirits, demons, etc?  I know, I'm a Tibetan Buddhist monk but never have I encountered this Dark energy outside of my dreams.  Thank you for your help.

It's like that saying "If I can't see it, I won't believe it".  Well, I'm a Buddhist monk and if I had to subscribe to any other belief, it would be A Course in Miracles and/or Conversations with God--none of which accepts the reality of Evil or the Dark, as I call it, as an inherent reality.  So when the Dark started to make itself apparent in my life, I was in total denial.  That is until it made a personal visit in waking consciousness[xx(]  I have been doing a crash course in the Dark and have found that 1. it definitely exists, 2. ignorance is NOT bliss, 3. be prepared to fight it, and 4. don't let it rule your life.
