Mystery "Buddha" boy goes missing
Yahoo ^ | March 11, 2006

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepali police began hunting on Saturday for a teenaged boy who some people believe is an reincarnation of Buddha after he disappeared from the site where he had been meditating for almost 10 months.

Fifteen-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon has not been seen since early Saturday, said Hari Krishna Khatiwada, a district official of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of Kathmandu.

The boy had been meditating there without food or water since May. Some of his followers are also missing.

"So far we have found no trace of them," Khatiwada said.

Sitting cross-legged beneath a "pipal" tree, which is sacred to Hindus, Bomjon drew more than 100,000 people to the dense forests in southeastern Nepal.

But visitors were only allowed to see him from 50 metres (165 feet) away and the boy was hidden from public view at night behind a curtain drawn by his followers.

I remembering hearing that too. I don't know if it is the same or quite recall the entire story.

I pray that he and his caretakers are OK, but I fear the worst, considering where this was...

When you finally realize I'm messing with you, feel free to bail out.

Considering the fact that you and I have never posted to each other prior to this, I find that rather amazing. But, hey...keep posting because your ignorance is amusing.

No, you responded to my post, and I replied in turn. It's not so amazing.

Oh I'm so grateful someone else may have seen or heard that as well. I was getting worried there for a few minutes! ;-)

From Reuters article: "The boy had been meditating there without food or water since May. Some of his followers are also missing."

This whole article screams of suspicion.

I agree that the description of the rite seems utterly biologically impossible.
I agree that there is absolutely no reason for anyone to take anything in the article at face value.

Note that I was able to say this without being an uncivilized ass.

That's who I was thinking about-ages are close enough without birthdates to confirm, and a new name could have been given, aaaaaaaaand I note in your link that a 6 year old had already turned up missing. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If you agree that "there is absolutely no reason for anyone to take anything in the article at face value," then why do you take the comments TOWARD said article at face value? Your last sentence is kind of ironic BTW.

If irreverent religious satire bothers you, you can always go burn an embassy or something.

This is the most disgusting thread I have ever seen here.

Those of you making fun of other people's religion should be ashamed. If you had ever traveled among these people, you would be disgusted by the remarks on page one of this thread, and people should be quiet about things they know nothing of. You are showing your ignorance, and your bigotry.

The traditional greeting in that part of the world is "Namaste" which means, "I see the God within you." The God within some here is infintesimal, and in need of enlightenment.

If you agree that "there is absolutely no reason for anyone to take anything in the article at face value," then why do you take the comments TOWARD said article at face value?

rather simple, really: the article presented questionable data in a straightforward manner, whereas the various quips and barbs presented no data save clues as to the questionable character of those who posted them.

Your last sentence is kind of ironic BTW.

actually, it wasn't. but that you would say that it was, is.
