Buddha Boy briefly reappears

Buddha Boy was spotted 3 KM away from the current meditation spot on Sunday morning according to the Om Namo Buddha Committee chairman Mr. Lama. A team of seven people from the committee came in contact with the Buddha Boy and he reportedly vanished after talking with them for half an hour. "He said he would reappear after six years. He has asked monks to perform prayers in the meditation spot," Lama claimed.

Bomjan reportedly told the team that he had reappeared to take leave of the committee, as he had left without informing them. "I left because there is no peace here," Lama quoted Bomjan as saying. "Tell my parents not to worry about me."

According to Lama, the team offered a khada to Bomjan and conversed with him. "He asked people not to worry about him and said that he is still in Nepal," Lama said.

"However, he said that no one could find him. He also said that he has camped in an undisclosed place where he reached after walking for five days and five nights," Lama further said.

Committee members screened a video, which they claimed was filmed during Bomjan’s brief reappearance and a Nepalese language blog Merosansar has uploaded the video of his brief reappearance but the quality is not so good. You can check this out.

    Isn’t it fascinating that he claims that he will reappear in roughly six years (2012). Which is also the year that has been predicted by mathematicians, astrologists, religious leaders, ancient civilazations; each claiming that between the world will undergo world-wide enlightenment OR ultimate annihilation? I’m interisted to see what’s going to happen. Don’t discredit the possibility.

    P.S: Just remember, its better to be an alive fool than a dead one.

  4. Exactly! I’m also fascinated by his meditation and the claim that he’ll reappear after 6 years, which coincides with 2012 and all the predictions…

    I watched with great interest a documentry on the Buddha Boy.

    I being a devout buddhist await further news on the boy. I hope he has succeded in getting away from all the media and those around him that may be trying to use him for the wrong cause.

    Hi all, yeah, when he comes back in 2012, he will save the world, well he won’t be able to, why? Was Buddha? or Jesus? Or Muhhamad? No! Why? Obviously it needs all of us, making our planet paradise, a place with love and compassion. I think he said, he only gives an example, if at all anything to us…. Which means, we should stop letting just a few do the work. We should practice compassion, love for our neighbour, our enemy right now. As we already know, how to live right, we maybe should start doing it, every second of the day. Now that would be really amazing, and we wouldn’t need to disturb him meditating. Or am I totally off the point? Cheers
