An intriguing news story caught my eye last month emanating from Nepal. Ram Bahadur Bamjan (now aged 18) was found meditating under a tree in the jungles in South Nepal in 2005. He came out of the forest for the first time last month, allegedly without taking any food or water. He is clearly in some very deep meditative state and seem by many as “proof” that he is the reincarnation of Buddha. Devotees in their thousands came from many parts of Nepal to Ratanpur, 160kms south of Kathmandu to be touched on the head by the boy. He was silent throughout the blessings. Ram has subsequently walked back into the jungle again. Check out his official website http://www.paldendorje.com/
