If such things as the Divine Eye/Ear and Nibbana exist, then one HAS to posit a metaphysic in Buddhism.

Furthermore, to my understanding of Nibbana, It is a "here and now" state with after death connotations. This much is true from Nikaya readings.

The term "supernatural" has to be defined for any true discussion to continue, in my opinion.

Thank you,
