Is Loten Dahortsang – the second „superhuman“ who lives in Switzerland? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

Is looking for „superhumans“ as defined in the following video by Daniel Goleman:
One potential „superhuman“ is Lama Pema Wangyal:
Another potential „superhuman“ is Loten Dahortsang :
- Loten Dahortsang was born in 1968 in Lhasa, Tibet.
- In 1979 he went to Nepal and entered Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Kopan Monastery.
- Since 1982 he has lived at the monastic institute in Rikon.
- He was trained by his uncle, Geshe Jampa Lodro, Tulku Lama Lodro Rinpoche, and the monastery’s former abbots, Geshe Ugyen Tseten and Geshe Gedün Sangpo.
- Since 2002 he has been pursuing further training in Buddhist epistemology at the Sera Monastery University in South India
- Since 2006 he has spent several years in-depth meditation and study of the Kalachakra Tantra at the Jonang Monastery in North India.
- He leads meditation sessions at the Rikon Monastery and at Buddhist centers in Europe.
- The book “Lu Jong – The Oldest Tibetan Movement Theory from the Monks in the Mountains” by Tulku Lama Lobsang, O.W. Barth Verlag was conceived and translated by him.
Other potential „superhumans are the rest of the monastic community of the Tibet Institute Rikon Monastry:

Someone who is not a „superhuman“ is Vanja Palmers as he basically said in a interview:
Vanja Palmers is million heir and Zen priest. As he says in the above video, he was not able to induce the same mental states with meditation as with Psilocybin.
So further scientific studies are necessary, for instance at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Zurich where Vanja Palmers brain was tested. Funders and potential superhumans welcome to do more scientific research about this topic.
But independent of these scientific studies with „superhumans“ who where made 20 years ago, scientific studies from which where are asking: where are those studies confirmed? From scientists like Rob ter Horst?
Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org is asking: Do we really need a brain scanner to find out who is a „superhuman“ and who is not? Or are we able to find this out by ourselves?
