Buddha and others repeatedly says that those that have genuine samadhi can easily cultivate the Six Paranormal Powers--if they have not experienced them by accident already. The Path of Purification even outlines the step-by-step method to cultivate them after obtaining concentration attainment.
In the Taoist tradition there are plenty of stories of such immortals and super-powered people, some of them even very modern, such as the Youtube video of John Chang emitting fire through his hands . [The books that are based on him are very awesome and interesting, like The Magus of Java.]
**What are some modern accounts in the Buddhist tradition?**
When I meet Buddhist people and others, they often say they have samadhi but they seem quite ordinary to me. Oftentimes, I am convinced that they make claims of samadhi merely to gain a following--however small it may be.
