RATANPUR, Nepal — The teenage boy revered as a reincarnation of Buddha sat silently in the jungle as he blessed his devotees Wednesday with a light tap on the head, which they consider the touch of the divine.

The followers of Ram Bahadur Bamjan, 18, believe he has been meditating without food and water since he was first spotted in the jungles of southern Nepal in 2005, when believers say he spent months without moving, sitting with his eyes closed beneath a tree.

Where is your Obama now ...

What value is there in literally doing nothing? Why should that be deserving of worship?

I do not agree with worshiping anything. But, if I did, I would choose to worship something that reflected the values I believe in. For example: honest work, courage, innovation

I just cannot understand how literally doing nothing can be considered a virtue or be deserving of admiration.

He has a somewhat pompous expression, imho. Nothing like the Dalai Lama for example. The spiritual leader of Tibet has such an open and warm demeanor.

He looks remarkably well fed for a guy who hasn't eaten in 3 years.

This kid and Obama have a lot in common. They are both flim-flam men.

He looks rather chubby for someone who is meditating without food and water. Just an observation. :)
