Does he look like someone who hasn't eaten in 6 months?

Nepali boy Ram Bahadur Bamjon meditates in the village of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of the capital Kathmandu on November 20, 2005. Authorities in Nepal urged religious groups and scientists on Sunday to help solve the mystery of a meditating teenaged boy who some believe is an incarnation of Buddha. At least 100,000 devotees from Nepal and neighbouring India have flocked in recent weeks to a dense forest in southeastern Nepal to see 15-year-old Bamjon, who, his associates say, has been meditating without food or water for six months.

Put some glasses on him and he looks like Harry Potter.

Does he look like someone who hasn't eaten in 6 months?

Pssst...nope! But then, the whole world is full of "miracle" stories!

Hi, Sagar.....of course, he doesn't. Just another example of the twisted minds associated with promoting this "religious" set-up.

American hippies will respectfully hang this picture on the walls of their pads and meditate before it all day.

Great theater.

If I am not mistaken, the pose of the boy is the one attributed to Siddhartha when he was determined to either attain enlightenment or die trying - I forget what all of them are, but each pose of Buddha figurines represents some event in Siddhartha's journey and symbolically, an attitude or mental state.
