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