Look whose dumping from his high horse now. If Vaj wants to make scientific claims for the Dalai Lama's spiritual whammy powers (red pen spelling correction noted) he could at least back it up. I'm not even asking for a study, just one little personal experience. Vaj is very quick to criticize TM research but has not yet supported his claims for "pacification" whatever the hell that even means. I don't doubt the DL's spiritual greatness or his ability to be a conduit for people to experience unity consciousness. I just doubt that such a subjective experience as "pacification" or "unity consciousness" is quantifiable other than the telling of an anecdote. I am interested to hear from Vaj and not you unless you have met the Dalai Lama and have a truthful story to tell about an experience of pacification and what that means to you. P.S. Deli Lama: A sandwich.
