Nepal’s Mystery ‘Buddha Boy’ Reappears
By Gopal Sharma, Reuters
KATHMANDU (Dec. 25) – A mysterious teenaged boy believed by some to be a reincarnation of Lord Buddha has reappeared in eastern Nepal after vanishing for nine months, a witness and a television channel said on Monday.
Sixteen-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon was spotted on Sunday by villagers in the remote and dense forests near Piluwa village in Bara district, 95 miles east of Kathmandu, local journalist Raju Shrestha, who visited the boy, told Reuters.
Bamjon disappeared in March from the forests in nearby Ratanpuri village where he had reportedly been meditating without food or water for almost 10 months.
“I have been wandering in the forests since then,” Shrestha quoted Bamjon as telling him.
“I am engaged in devotion which will continue for six years,” the boy told Shrestha.
Hundreds of curious onlookers, including many Buddhists, thronged the site to see the boy, sitting in a meditating position.
A local TV station showed people pressing their palms together and lowering their heads in devotion in front of him.

What do you make of this?
I don’t believe the story. Just another nut trying to make a name.

you of little faith
This is just another hoax.
ah….least he’s really not bothering anyone….so what if he’s really into himself……I see that all the time so …….hope he has a nice 6 years…
Ten months without food and water? Yeah, right.
As far as I can remember, i’ll had four incarnations in Nepal. And all of themon the very same street in KATTMANDUUA!!! And once (later or before) I left my body below, floating above and upon sitting upin the Himalayas looking at the rivers flowing south I saw at least 7 copyies of my very own special ego tripped soul floating together in space and time waving all the time until eternity took ower.
Do not believe what i just wrote.
But listen to this person.

He does’nt preach.
He just talk common sence.
It is real bad that BBC world service skips his new year addressing to all of us this year.
He is much better than the Queen of England or the Archbihsop of Canterbury are in their yearly broadcasts.
