as a Buddhist here, I've noticed in our community that prayers include all entities, asuras too. it's basically like Buddha wants a whole gang to join forces regardless of their nature in order to protect the world from inner stuff projected by humans themselves. a good source would be the The Sublime Golden Light Sutra from a certified organization, like FPMT.
now religion aside, I'm used to see monks represented in animations and other media as being cunning or double-faced, guess it's an influence from old tales when like any religion, Buddhism was used as a tool of manipulation, from regular people to royals.
don't you just love it when you take care of a piano and it brings you a boyfriend one day?
Soo romantic (≧∀≦)
