No its an academic book published by the University of Chicago. You are being disingenuous again just like before.

Meaning what? It dates to 2004. And its published by the University of Chicago, which is the world authority on South Asian studies, beyond even Harvard.

Do you know how much literature is on this stuff? Matthew Kapstein, 'The Strange Death of Pema the Demon-Tamer' in The Presence of Light: Divine Radiance and Religious Experience, ed. Matthew T. Kapstein, University of Chicago Press, 2004

Someone who meets a lot of Buddhas in visions

I admit I have a grudge against Christianity. Read "Breaking India" Christianity is anti-Dharmic.

Maybe you don't understand what a terton is.

I can prove that scholars take it seriously as real, which is not the case with Christian claims.

And they treat it pretty seriously.

Mainstream scholarship is aware of Dzogchen rainbow body for example.

I don't think mainstream scholarship asserts that Jesus is divine.

In means experts in the field of New Testament studies.

The ultimate spiritual facts come from tertons. And they never met Jesus. Anyway...... Am I correct in stating that the mainstream view of scholarship is that Jesus was a normal human being?

Obviously not, since no terton has ever met Jesus. Dudjom Rinpoche, Dudjom Lingpa, Jigme Lingpa, Longchenpa, Kunzang Dechen Lingpa, Nyala Pema Dündul never met Jesus for example.

The mainstream view of scholarship is that Jesus was just a Jewish preacher. A normal human. Not God. That's the mainstream view in my understanding.

If the criteria of valid religion is third party mystical experience, you can't beat Buddhadharma. Just read "Blazing Splendor", "Apparitions of the Self", "Togden Shakya Shri" or any biography of any terton.

Does Ramana and the Dalai Lama also come to you as they do T_I?

Jesus breaks your bones????

This is what you said: No physical occurrence for me. So based on that experience, I have to conclude Jesus is false.

Now, you are backtracking.

I'm going by the criteria of h.uriahr who said he feels the Blood of Christ physically poured down on his head.

Just accepting Jesus as your savior verbally outloud. There are different wording variations of how to accept Jesus as your savior, but that's pretty much it.

Well almost no one has direct experience with Jesus, even saved Christians. So you all are just proving my point. When I was a church going Christian, no one ever said I met Jesus last night. And these are the hardcore guys praying in tongues.

Saved Christian just means verbally accepting Jesus as your savior.

I'm starting to think you are completely deluded, and that even YOUR experiences of Jesus are nonexistent.

By your criteria of "experience" Jesus is bullshit for me.
