ram bomjon is a 16-year-old boy born and living in the village of Ratnapur who allegedly is in the process of transforming into the next incarnation of the Buddha. It has been claimed that the so-called “Buddha Boy” has been sitting under a pipal tree in uninterrupted meditation since May of 2005. According to the set of people who surround and control access to Ram Bomjon, he asserted just before sitting down that he was entering into a six-year meditative state in order to attain enlightenment, a la the original Buddha Siddhartha Gautama. According to the same set of people who surround and control access to Bomjon, he:
- has not stirred from his meditation since May 2005,
- has had nothing to eat since May 2005,
- has continued meditating even after being bitten by a snake,
- and has caused two mute people in proximity to him to begin to speak.
this is amazing
The awkward moment when a simple google search disproves a whole bunch of this: he himself denied he was a reincarnation of the buddha; he’s been on the move since 2006- though he did sit under that tree for ages; and while evidence for not eating for the months he did spend sitting under the tree is difficult to ascertain (via lack of proof) the world record for surviving with inedia is 18 days. He also asserted when found in 2006 in the Bada district that he had been “eating herbs in the interim.” There’s nothing on the snake or mute people claims. There is a report of him retaliating with violence against a minor assault though, which is interesting. However his ability to remain in one position for so long is quite incredible.
