An extract from the popular TV series, Kung Fu, which gives a very succinct, insightful explanation for the fearsome appearance of certain deities. Also a very clear way of describing Dorje Shugden's wrathful expression:

Kwai Chang Caine: Master, why does such a fearsome statue stand at the entrance to our peaceful place?

Master Po: These are the threshold guardians, Grasshopper, set here to keep away those not ready for the silence within.

Kwai Chang Caine: Must they be so... horrible?

Master Po: Those incapable of understanding the Way see things divine as monsters. Better for them never to enter here.

Kwai Chang Caine: Yet if a man is unafraid of stone, he may pass unhampered!

Master Po: He may physically pass the guardian, but if his mind is in the outer world, he will leave us, in time, to rejoin it.
