This is what clearly distinguish a Buddha from a Demon:
When in the world, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas never show off their spiritual penetrations before ordinary people. Only when they enter Nirvana sitting will special manifestations be seen.
When in the world, the demons cannot wait to show off their spiritual penetrations before ordinary people. They don’t use teachings to transform people but rather the spiritual power to lure people into the demonic state.
All the demons arise from the mind. All the Buddhas are made by the mind.
