LOL. But it's not as far-fetched as you think. I know of one spiritual author who offered a couple of well- known Tibetan Buddhist teachers a bribe of one million bucks each to write a blurb for the book jacket in which they declared him a tulku (recognized reincarnation of a famous teacher from the past). Both teachers laughed the author out of the room. It's just a matter of time until the TM movement figures out that there is money to be made in selling "Enlightenment Authentification Diplomas." They'd sell like hotcakes. ------------------------ Yahoo!
