• Ah, only at the level of Rinpoche.
• Dammit, they get kids like that and We get kids like the chocolate milk kid (nsfw (language) - google video) It ain't fair I tells ya.
• Thanks for your interest in Google Video. Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country. *sniff*
• another link (nsfw)
• I want to know how long he has actually been going without food or drink. I have been going for three hours now, and I am feeling rather enlightened.
• A 15-year old boy, who has reportedly been meditating beneath a pipal tree for the past six months in the dense jungles of Bara district in southern parts of Nepal, without eating and drinking or even relieving himself, umm, has anyone checked if he's, you know, alive? or just a bunch of pillows stuffed in clothes, while the real kid is inside playing Xbox?
• He's not dead, he's just resting.
• I don't like this.
• "Ram Bomjon, who is silently meditating beneath a tree... ...and he spoke. "Tell the people not to call me a Buddha. I don't have the Buddha's energy. I am at the level of rinpoche [lesser divinity]." And that looks like a Banyan tree to me. Must be a hoax. Call me in five and a half years.
• This is sad. Let the kid alone, damnit! If there is Buddha energy there or not is not up for a vote. Besides, meditation is personal. Why are you bringing in this light that shines with the phat "hahahaha"?
• It appears that the chocolate milk kid and the buddha boy are both into anti-social activities. Ah youth! Pass the bottle.
• To add... India, and Nepal are filled with this sort of thing, always have been. Much like the USofA and much of the West is filled with the latest Briteny(sp?) or variation. It fills me with joy to see folks get all agog about a meditator as opposed to a slut.
• It appears that the chocolate milk kid and the buddha boy are both into anti-social activities. Ah youth! Pass the bottle. You are soooooo cool! Plaese post more wisdom!!!
• Edit: Remove my snark. Leave my sense that snarking one who has the pedal to the metal is pubescent. ( perhaps -pre)
• Edit: Remove my facetiousness. Leave my sense of gratitude for the ¡ symbol¡
• I've got some small experience with that sub-continent. They will come up with most anything for a rupee and this kid might be an example of that. There have been walkers on water as well as a variety of beggars seeking that extra rupee that we all want. I don't know what the deal is here. I'm not there anymore to find out or know. What I do know is that a 15 year old kid trying to fool the masses with this sort of trick is much true to my nuts than what I see on MTV. YMMV

• The Hindu religion tends to engulf other religions. and has long since deified the historical Buddha, placing him among its panteon. The majority of the Nepalese are Hindu practitioners, not Buddhists. Ram is a Hindu name. so is Devi. Among Tibetan/Himalyan Buddhists, Rinpoches are not in the habit of announcing themselves to be such. This young man seems to be practicing a form of physical mortification, which The Buddha said was a useless practice for attaining enlightenment, but which has had great appeal for Hindu practitioners and fakirs for many centuries. The historical Buddha at one point tried abstaining from food. Realizing at last that starving to death was not bringing him closer to his goal, he gave up fasting. It was only after doing so that he was able to attain enlightenment.
• thanks bees.. I'd just say that ones motives and not the results are the bees knees.
• I need to remember that for the next BBQ at which my girlfriend tells me I don't really need that extra hot dog.
• (The whole you-can't-get-enlightened-if-you're-hungry thing, I mean.)
• If I'm bugged by it, I'll look it in the eye. If it it pisses me off, I'll get pissed off. If it fascinates me, I'll check it out.
• Wow, beeswacky posted just a minute after being summoned by stirfy. stirfry has powerful siddhis.
• the quid can pull a non sequiter
• homunculus, you are the best posting to our hearts desires especailly when those desires are swamped in the need to to be numero uno . Upon distinction, that numero uno is actually the Jimmy Swaggart bleat for grace!
• Yeah, someone give that boy a bowl of pork.
• the problem with internet fora is that no one can do damage with an "internet explosive road bomb". eg. see previous self destructive idiotism.
• This all reminds me of a story a friend once told me...it goes a little something like this, "So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."
• Hong Kong is only close to Tibet for those, like you or your friend, who have an overwheening need to be applauded for your jokes. What your post has to do with this thread is a conundrum.
• Nananananananananananaananananananannananana...
• was that the sound of gas passing?
• eeew! pubescent gas!
• anyhoo.. another teen whakko can be found here. Odd how teens like this are pissed on but ones who suck the culture are jacked off and given cum crowns to wear.
• What an incredible Cinderella story, this unknown comes outta no where to lead the pack, at Augusta. He's on his final hole, he's about 455 yards away - he's gonna hit about a two-iron I think. Oh he got all of that one! The crowd is standing on its feet here, the normally reserved Augusta crowd - going wild - for this young Cinderella, he's come outta no where, he's got about 350 yards left, he's gonna hit about a five-iron, don't you think? He's got a beautiful backswing - that's - Oh he got all of that one! He's gotta be pleased with that, the crowd is just on its feet here, uh - He's the Cinderella boy, uh - tears in his eyes I guess as he lines up this last shot, he's got about 195 yards left, he's got about a - its looks like he's got about an eight-iron. This crowd has gone deathly silent, the Cinderella story, outta no where, a former greenskeeper now - about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac - It's in the Hole!
• "You're rather attractive for a beautiful girl with a great body."
• I was born to love you / I was born to lick your face / I was born to rub you / but you were born to rub me first /... What do you say we take this out on the patio?
• you two are simply lovely!
• "Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga." Bill Murray ad-libbed that whole bit.
• Odd how teens like this are pissed on Well, the claims about not eating or drinking or eliminating for 6 months appear fraudulent. So maybe he's in on it, and therefore just another religious fraud, or he's not, but goes out at midnight for a sammich.
• > another link thanks, i think... that child's poor mother
• WE'RE ALL GONNA GET LAID!!
• roryk: it's unavailable in my country too. However, I figured out how to get around it: do a Google search for "anonymizer proxy" (I tried a few, the first result worked best for me, but I can't vouch for the overall security of these things, so at your own risk etc.) and load the Google Video link. The proxy will remove identifying info, including what country you're from, so you'll be able to watch Google vids :)
• Seems the alleged boy buddha has upped and gone. Where will he surface next? Or will he?
• I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.
• Also, I smell varmint poontang.
• It's easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you've got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
• I like you, Betty.
• Interesting. Maybe he just wanted to be alone. A Garbo moment, as it were. Or perhaps, if it is the case that he hasn't had food or drink since last May - he just wanted a glass of water, and maybe an apple.
• I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days.
• We have a pool and a lake - the lake would probably be good for you.
• My uncle says you've got a screw loose. Your uncle molests collies
• Excellency, fiddlesticks, my name's Fred and I'm a man, same as you. You're not a man, you're a bishop, for God's sakes. There is no God...
• Nepal Buddha Boy 'sighted again'
• Mystery "Buddha boy" in Nepal vanishes, again Maybe he's hitchhiking to Nanjing to see the piece of his skull. Duuude.
