The New Buddha?

Without food and water for 3 years!

A meditating teenage boy in south-central Nepal had drawn the attention of scientists after attracting huge crowds and earning himself the name Buddha-reincarnate.

Ram Bahadur Bamjan's friends, relatives and managers say he has been meditating without drinking water for 3 years now and that he will carry on for another six years until he gains enlightenment.

This boy had made his appearance about two years ago but due to large media attention and overwhelmimgly large crowd,he had eloped into the jungle saying the crowds were disturbing his mediation.

This young lad has reportedly been seen again in the same place in the same mediation mode.

Its been more than 2 years now that he has survuved without food and water if his relatives claims are to be believed.He has quwstioned the basic scientific theory that we cannot survive without food and water.

Scientist are going to have a medical check on the boy,to see the evidence.

The boy had said he would stay hungry for 6 years before he would achieve Nirvana and the boy dare sto call himself reincarnation of the great Gautam Buddha.

Is this for real "3 years without food and water" I don't believe it!

Wow...3 years is not a short period of time to stay without food and water. Apparently it seems impossible to happen but miracles do happen and exceptions are always rare so let's see what doctors have to say. Obviously if they declare the boy has lived without food and water for 3 years then in one way, we can say Buddha is born again!

I once met this guy who claimed he could get all the nourishment he needed by staring into the sun when it was low on the horizon. When I said I'd buy him a burrito, however, he took me up on the offer.

While this young man may or may not be the reincarnation of the Buddha, I can't assert that his claims are impossible. I suppose we'll learn more as this story unfolds.

I wonder how the original Siddhartha would have dealt with modern media. Kind of depressing to think about, actually. Inquiring minds may want to know, but sometimes the knowledge can't be imparted in a soundbite. Or even an Anderson Cooper special report, for that matter.

Sometimes, dear allvoices' grasshoppers, the knowledge we seek can only come from within.

Whoa! I really doubt the 3 years story, or the fact that he is a reincarnation, although the world needs a Buddha-like figure to spread peace all around!!
Punditty, I loved the burrito story!! :D
