Buddha Boy attacked and injured a guy with his sword?
I was surprised to read this (Nepali), it says that Ram Bahadur Bomjon, the Buddha Boy attacked and injured a guy with his sword. The blog entry refers to a Nepalese newspaper “Naya Patrika”, according to which Bomjon attacked and injured 22 years old Anil Khatri with his sword because Khatri entered the meditation premises without permission.
The report seems conflicting — first it says that Khatri was taken into control for three hours before being attacked in presence of committee members, and later quotes a committee member Yekananda Kunwar, who says: “Khatri was attacked because he tried to enter the meditation premises with a Khurpa (Nepali knife) when no one was around”.
To me, all this sounds a bit strange — a person meditating for peace resorting to violence, but again the facts are not clear yet! hopefully more details will emerge soon.

it is not clear if he really carry sword or not.how ever from the view point of deep budhist knowledge those who sacrifice his whole life for setien beings he hav right to atack one being in order to save coundless being.but holly person never atack other by anger but with more love.you know how?it is becoz holly person know if he let that person attack hem that person wil sufer more suffering in his next life becoz of natural cause and efect.so if holly person realy have deep compasion holy person suppose to attack some one who trying to atack hem in order to help some on who trying to attack holy person.so dont be narrow mindid ,budhism is so deep and profound….in the sutra by budha.there is same story of one of buddhas previes life.in that story bodisatva kill one person in order to help that one person and many other person in the ship in cea.
thank you

thank you for posting stories on him, and keeping me [and others] informed. Ram is fascinating to me and i for one, will do everything i can to be able to see him. except, you know, walk up too close to him.
I am not Buddhist, nor from Nepal. just a curious american girl who admires his bravery and commitment. I wish that people would stop saying hateful things about him and just wait and see how things turn out.

I do like the way you have framed this specific challenge and it really does supply me personally some fodder for consideration. However, coming from what precisely I have witnessed, I really hope as the actual responses pile on that people today stay on issue and in no way get started upon a soap box involving some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and although I can not necessarily concur with this in totality, I regard the standpoint.
