---Vaj, you're not making sense. Regardless of the purpose, yidam (god) worship is all the same, call it what you want; but much of Tibetan Buddhism is similar to the god-worship of the Hindus. Even the iconography is similar, say Mahakali vs the same Mahakali in Hinduism; Ganesh worship in both religions. There are countless Hindus who regard these "gods" as "wisdom-enhancing" focal points; just as in your erronous rendition of Buddhism.
Just the fact of the matter--of course you're welcome to entertain whatever belief you chose. Just don't call it Buddha-dharma.
