Devas and Nagas

 


Doug´s Dharma is a "secular Buddhist" channel on YouTube, and here tries to play down or reinterpret the fact that early Buddhist cosmology included devas (gods or demigods) and nagas (another class of supernatural beings, often referred to as snake-spirits in English). I can´t say he´s entirely convincing, tbh. But sure, from a secular viewpoint, these beings must be declared to be either entirely irrelevant or even non-existent.
