So do other religious and philosophical systems. In Buddhism the idea of demons are very different then the A typical understandings and ideals of how they have come to be seen in much of society today.

@LLP: although I don’t know that much about Buddhism, I have done some research about the kapala, and every source I checked had more or less the same information regarding this skull cup being used to appease wrathful/fierce deities. The offerings aren’t made from human skull, they are wine and dough placed in the kapala.

A core precept is not to take a life of a living creature, so offerings made from a skull to “fierce deities” is simply not true. Please do some research before posting such information.
