abstract in English:	Tibetan Buddhism assumes the existence of many various deities. Some of them are considered to come from this world, whereas others are regarded as the enlightened ones. Their status, discussed by the author, varies according to a given philosophical school. The enlightened deities may be perceived as, e.g. (1) a dependent phenomenon, merely a mental construct which is the object of mental exercise that leads to the ultimate aim, or (2) the emanation of the everlasting nature of mind, which mode of existence transcends the interdependent origination. Regardless of the particular view in this matter, every tradition ascribes a similar role to them: they serve the adept to reach the qualities that they represent.
