The presence of an advanced master

Has anyone else here ever been in the presence of a highly realized person?

Many practitioners or those with a big title come across as peaceful, kind, wise people. For a few though these qualities radiate off of them and a feeling of love and peace is a palpable quality that seemingly permeates the space around them and those in their presence feel these qualities too.

Growing up I was into fantasy literature and liked things with magic and dragons and stuff so some of the more magical aspects of Buddhism was an easy pill for me to swallow. The first time I saw one of these people though, there was a tangible display that there are things that are true that are beyond our ordinary senses. HHDL is one of these people, the late Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche is another and many have strong experiences just by seeing a picture or video of him.

I'd like to hear others experiences of this phenomena.

  • Yes I've experienced this as well and it seems to be a fairly well established phenomena.
