One way to miraculous samadhi is japa (mantra) with a mala or 108 rose prayer beads.

The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S., is a former Roman Catholic church now a museum and wedding chapel known for its unusual helix-shaped spiral staircase (nicknamed "Miraculous Stair").

The Sisters of Loretto credited Jesus' dad, St. Joseph, for its construction. It is the subject of a legend in that the circumstances surrounding its construction and its builder were considered miraculous by the Sisters of Loretto [3].

• Are there "miracles" in Buddhism? Yes: See Miracles of Gautama Buddha
• HOW TO PERFORM MIRACLES: The bases of performing a miracle, marvel, or siddhi oneself is purifying the heart/mind through sila and samadhi (virtue and stillness), mastering absorption then directing intensified mind to abhijñā.
• Why do Buddhists, Catholics, and Hindus have the exact same rosary beads (japa malas)?
• PRAYER: Of course, it would be much easier to ask the devas to come down and work a technological wonder like building durable temples by hollowing and hewing them out of pure rock. (Nine days of "prayer" or Buddhist or Yogic Hindu japa or a Catholic novena would be a good way to gain samadhi through mantra).

Loretto Chapel is best known for its helix-shaped staircase, which rises 20 feet (6.1 m) to the choir loft while making two full turns, all without the support of a newel or central pole.

The staircase is built mostly out of wood and is held together by wooden pegs, with no glue, nails, or other hardware.

Built by deva, no nails, just wooden pegs, from wood not found on earth

The inner stringer consists of seven wooden segments joined together with pegs, while the longer outer stringer has nine segments, with 33 steps.

What kind of wood?

Norway spruce, a known pine, was not used.

The exact wood used to build the staircase has been confirmed to be a type of spruce that is not native to New Mexico and scientifically not identified anywhere else on earth [7].

Apart from any claims of its miraculous creation, the staircase has been described as a remarkable if not impossible feat of woodworking.

According to a Washington Post column by Tim Carter:

"It's a magnificent work of art that humbles me as a master carpenter. To create a staircase like this using modern tools would be a feat. It's mind-boggling to think about constructing such a marvel with crude hand tools, no electricity and minimal resources" [11].

According to another professional carpenter, who was interviewed by Ben Radford for his book Mysterious New Mexico:

"The execution is just incredible. The theory of how to do it, to bend it around in a two-turn spiral, that's some difficult arithmetic there" [7]. More
