Usually you are the first to question information when someone mentions an anonymous source
Correct, usually, but....

but in this case you don´t? :hmm: Have you asked the Rabbi or the publisher if they have checked the story with the Dalai Lama?
I have no doubt that the book's author did NOT verify this via the Dalai Lama. He believed the person who told him directly of his own personal experience and wished to remain anonymous for reasons I can clearly understand.

You could also email the Dalai Lama´s office to find out if that story is true or not (ohhdl@dalailama.com).
Done.
