Mystery "Buddha" boy goes missing
Yahoo ^ | March 11, 2006

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepali police began hunting on Saturday for a teenaged boy who some people believe is an reincarnation of Buddha after he disappeared from the site where he had been meditating for almost 10 months.

Fifteen-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon has not been seen since early Saturday, said Hari Krishna Khatiwada, a district official of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of Kathmandu.

The boy had been meditating there without food or water since May. Some of his followers are also missing.

"So far we have found no trace of them," Khatiwada said.

Sitting cross-legged beneath a "pipal" tree, which is sacred to Hindus, Bomjon drew more than 100,000 people to the dense forests in southeastern Nepal.

But visitors were only allowed to see him from 50 metres (165 feet) away and the boy was hidden from public view at night behind a curtain drawn by his followers.

Maybe he left because he was going to be investigated

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Perhaps not, but you are coming across as very pompous and condescending. That could just be the text and not at all what you are intending. I don't know one way or the other.

ah, good: empiricism.

iirc, there is a quite active group in India dedicated to exposing "mystics" and "fakirs" as con-men.

One particular gambit I clearly recall is the "levitating fakir" scam, which involves a metal armature and suspended seat, all covered by the "holy" man's robe... except for the sole vertical support - a rod disguised as a staff and planted very firmly into the ground.

Much like "spiritualists" here in the US, the con-artists over there do not like being examined by the debunkers.

perhaps this "buddha boy" was one such.

thanks for the link.

avoiding emotion renders my prose cold and dry. in our emotional society, such prose is often read as arrogant and hostile, rather than simply grindingly precise.

There Once was a Schmuck Named King Prout
Who Thought What He Was, Have No Doubt
He blew his wad with the Pajamihidad
And became bereft of his innocence!

I posted to you at #137, and you seem to have overlooked that and continued onward with odd attacks.

What are your thoughts on #137? Unless you are looking for a fight that should be common ground.

that's not a proper limerick.
try this:

One night Solamente went out
intending to act like a lout
whilst cracking (un)wise
got his [....] in a vise
trading jabs with a Freeper named Prout

ya gotta fit the *meter* for it to be a limerick, Solamente

I raise you 100000%. It is so funny, funny, funny to make fun of religions that cause no harm. Yuck Yuck. Good stuff. They get attacked by Muslims too, and share that common cause, but it is hilarious to mock them when we wear similar shoes. The hilarity is never-ending.

Is it just religions we should be hyper-sensitive about and why so?

Tell you what- let's table this for a few days down the road, okay buddy boy?


Truth to tell, I have people I must attend to, but I'll be glad to get back to your creepy gymnamulistic religious convolutions in a couple of days, if it's all the same to you.

Nobody said hyper-sensitive but you. If you think making fun of religions that cause no harm is fun, that is your bag.

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?

Stepped out for a sandwich perhaps

This is no time for jokes. The poor boy obviously had to pee.
