Pray to the God for Protection from Satan
According to a Japanese expert of Tibetan Buddhism, there had been a school for study of spiritualism before Buddhism came to Tibet.From a point of view of Tibetan Buddhism, it is said that the supreme truth is generally called the god, Brahman in the Indian philosophy, and nothingness in Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, the Buddha who got enlightenment about the supreme truth was neither another God nor someone opposite to the concept of the God as the creator of the universe and everything in a Jewish or Christian sense.
The Buddha accessed the God who was regarded as nothingness through his own way that was discovered after stopping hard ascetic training over years where he had almost starved to death. Put simply he found that everything comes from nothingness and nothingness can be found in everything. Emptiness has no power and potential, but this nothingness has power and potential. Therefore, we may also regard the God as nothingness or the supreme truth.
The God is the source of existence of everything, including Himself. But, the God was perceived as nothingness or the supreme truth by the Buddha. All schools of Buddhism established and learnt in various Asian countries after the Buddha are based on this basic notion of the Buddha. In this context, Buddhism is not so remote from Judaism and Christianity, although nothingness or the supreme truth seems to lack something akin to humanity or personality. On the other hand, Christ Jesus called the God as the Father in Heaven.
According to the modern physics, everything in this universe can be reduced to light or pure fundamental energy. Even time and space must be generated from this fundamental energy in physical vacuum. This physical vacuum can be regraded as part of nothingness. So, for us to see the God, we have to go through this material universe, the origin of material and energy, and nothingness, and finally to the source of existence of everything. If we reach the close vicinity of the God, we cannot be ourselves anymore but part of nothingness, which seems to be the aim of the Buddha. So, the Bible tells that a man cannot continue to live after he sees the God.
From the spiritual point of view, above the material universe there is the spirit world; above the spirit world there is Heaven; and above Heave, there is the direct domain of the God.
You may deny all of these theories including the God; so then you will really die to a naught while you cannot understand why and how you came to exist and live in this world. A soul that cannot accept spirits, truth, or the God might be rejected from going into the spirit world after his death in this world.
So, we can understand how generous the God is as He sent his Son Christ Jesus to this world to make us confirm that there are life after death, Heaven, and the God.
However, there is one big problem. Satan does not want us to understand the supreme truth and love the God. Evil, hatred, and darkness in mind are effective weapons for Satan. In addition, it is thought Satan is a product of insanity against perfect integrity of the God.
It is said that Satan also attacked the Buddha, living 500 years before Christ Jesus, during his ascetic training, although Mahayana Buddhism established in the era when Christ Jesus came to this world told that Satan never appeared to the Buddha after he achieved the enlightenment. Nonetheless, the original sutra of Buddhism before Mahayana Buddhism told that Satan appeared in the mind of the Buddha even after the Buddha achieved the enlightenment.
Finally, what is sure seems that the God is free from Satan, which implies that any man can be attacked by Satan unless he is perfectly protected by the God. So, what we should do is to pray to the God for protection from Satan.

Romans 6, King James Version
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
