I don't see any intention to 'ridicule' Tibetan Buddhism in the OP if this is a query about a quote from a Buddhist book.

Also, I think if we get into talking about stories and anecdotes relating to
supernormal powers in general, which are probably mentioned in all traditions, then we're straying from the OP and the book mentioning extra terrestrials.

I can certainly relate many stories of gurus with 'powers' from Tibetan Buddhism -- its full of such tales - but that's certainly not the point of the thread and this isn't the Mahayana/Vajrayana forum.

The Beyond Belief forum is...

"A forum for free enquiry and critical exploration of Buddhism in the modern world."
