However, I believe the general consensus is that Mary was handed to the Essenes at quite a young age.
Old school.

it's kind of hard surviving without water since last May. Not that hard, since it was only during the day. "What happens behind the curtain at night, stays behind the curtain."
They made their quid, and got out while still in one piece before the rubes got too inquisitive. Awhile back, REAL doctors were making serious noises about doing an up close & personal examination of the phenomenon.
Like rutabagas, he'll turnip, probably at some "psychic convention" or other woo-woo roadside attraction, far from this scene.
Not that I'm cynical or anything, or doubt his divinity, or disbelieve his handlers propaganda explanations.

Answer me this, what have Hindus or Buddhists done to you or our nation, to cause you to advocate the mockery of their beliefs---which is precisely what you did on your initial post on this thread? Nothing. Ever watch Monty Python? Besides, I bet there are plenty of Hindus an Buddhists who find something "funny" about this boys story.

I think you stunned him with that crisp limerick. I'm not taking sides in your joust, but that limerick was very well done.
The casualty record threw me completely. Maybe that was the guy who invented limericks?

I'm glad you liked it... but limericks are dead easy. Haiku, now... they can be quite challenging to do right ;)
Maybe that was the guy who invented limericks?
That seems impossible. The limerick was so well established that Kipling, in a short story published in 1926, quoted as a childhood remembrance a limerick published in Punch Magazine no later than the early 1880's:
Chacque epoque a ses grands noms sonores,
De tous ce defunts cockolores
Le moral Fenelon,
Michel Ange et Johnson
(Le Docteur) sont les plus awful bores.
(As is common in Punch, the poem is barbed wit)
The meter is well established.
Moreover, in this same remembrance there is mention of a traditional accompaniment or chorus to limerick contests (similar in many respects to modern 'rap-offs' and 'filking' contests) sung by the audience between competing limericks:
Oh, won't you come up, come up?
Oh, won't you come up, come up?
Oh, wont you come up,
Come all the way up,
Come all the way up to Limerick?
I do not know how old the limerick is, but it is certainly far too ancient to have been invented by a fellow killed in World War One.

"I saw something on TV about an American woman whose very young son was
supposedly the reincarnation of Buddha (I believe)"
There can be no "reincarnation" of Buddha. Siddhartha Gautam became "Buddha" precisely because he had "freed" himself from the cycle of reincarnation. Indeed, if Buddha "reincarnted," then Buddha is Buddha no more, but just another unenlightened soul that is suffering from the karmic cycle called reincarnation.

Feeling paranoia?

do please remember that there seems to be a missing person in this case. Or perhaps a big scam.
please also bear in mind that the comments you are making right now about a hindic ritual would probably get you banned had you made them about catholic or other christian rites.
Not hardly. Calvinists are bashed quite often without even a warning being issued.

King Prout:

Or maybe, since the article claims he had been meditating for 10 months, perhaps he achieved enlightenment and then simply turned himself invisible. According to at least one Buddhist website, the Blessed One (Buddha) was capable of rendering himself invisible, as he demonstrated to Baka Brahma, the "chief of the first realm of higher gods".
If A) Buddhism is true, B) reincarnation is true, and c) this boy really is Buddha reincarnate, you can't dismiss his simply turning invisible as one possible explanation. But if you don't hold A, B, and C as not true, well then there's the possibility that this boy's claims, and now his disappearance, are all a big scam.

Or perhaps a big scam. Maybe he bugged out so he could be on the next American Idol.
