The Dalai Lama seems to imply that Buddhism has a lot "more" in the relative
sense; that accompanies Enlightment; i.e. in the capacity to perform unnamed
"feats" for the betterment of mankind. Looks like a 200% program to me, or
300%, since everything in Buddhism must occur in threes.
Neo-Advaita - Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Gangaji, etc; doesn't have these
added benefits.

Dalai Lama Quote of the Week
...all four tantra sets make use of deity yoga, the special tantric means for amassing the collections of merit and wisdom quickly. Highest Yoga Tantra has, in addition, techniques for generating subtler minds that realise emptiness and for using the winds or currents of energy that are the mounts of these subtler minds as the substantial cause of an actual divine body. Through this enhancement of the wisdom consciousness the obstructions to omniscience are quickly removed and Buddhahood is attained.
In the three lower tantras--Action, Performance, and Yoga--deity yoga is used to bring about the speedy achievement of many common feats and to come directly under the care of Buddhas and high Bodhisattvas, receiving their blessings, and so forth. This is done through a threefold process known as prior approximation, effecting the achievement of feats, and using the feats in the performance of activities for the welfare of others.
--from Deity Yoga in Action and Performance Tantra by H.H. the Dalai Lama, Tsong-ka-pa and Jeffrey Hopkins, published by Snow Lion Publications
