Was the Buddha a supernormal human? Dean Radin

Dean Radin reflects on the scientific validity of the supernormal stories that surround the Buddha. This video is an excerpt from SAND Anthology Vol. 5:

Dean Radin, PhD, is Chief Scientist at the INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCES (IONS) and Volunteer Faculty in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. Before joining the research staff at IONS in 2001, he held appointments at AT&T Bell Labs, Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, and SRI International. He is author or coauthor of over 200 technical and popular articles, a dozen book chapters, and three books including the award-winning The Conscious Universe (HarperOne, 1997), Entangled Minds (Simon & Schuster, 2006), and the 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award winner, SUPERNORMAL (Random House, 2013).

Orthodox science is still stuck in the tick tock universe of Newtonian physics.

Do u even understand what Buddha told? There is a huge difference between Buddha ( or Yogic science) and all other Abrahamic religion like Islam, Christianity, etc...

[YUDDITHA]

The Lord Buddha and Dhalai lama are two different people. We cant compare. We cant tell the nature of Buddha experimenting Dhalai lama or his stories. Or Hindu stories. Enlightenment is a different mental state and I don't think Mr.Randin has come across such a person during his experiments. There is no reincarnation in Buddhism and it is not promoting magical things like "Irdhi". It is a way of controlling our minds to have no attachments for things; which is the root cause for all sufferings [like or unlike].
