I just can't imagine Buddha actually talking about this stuff. These stuff makes buddhism seem like other religions.(i.e jesus walking on water) Do you guys actually believe in this? I'm just very confused because I thought Buddhism was mainly about ending the cycle of suffering for human beings. Idk why Buddha would even mention those. It just seems like made up myth.
The superpowers would be common things if people would keep celibacy and transform that energy into siddhis and meditational feats. Generally it's very easy to do but it's take a lot to keep it going to the results of siddhi.
It's not matter of beliefs - that the problem with spirituality, people have certain beliefs towards this or that, either you have proof or experience or not. I said from my experience of supernatural things in other thread so you can look up for "my story" either it does not matter because you either need to believe or not believe - whatever you choose will leave you with nothing.
Look closely at you experience, we are all on some kind of spinning ball in the middle of nowhere of infinite cosmos chopping tree, eating food and meditate. Do you really think some kind of little "superpowers" have something on the endless infinite cosmos with bilions of bilions starts ,platnets and galatics? It's nothing compared to that. Regular things if you put attention to them are more super then all kinds of superpowers.
