KATMANDU, Nepal Nov 23, 2005 — A teenage boy has been meditating in a Nepalese jungle for six months, and thousands have flocked to see him, with some believing he is the reincarnation of Buddha, police and media said Wednesday.

 

Ram Bahadur Banjan, 15, sits cross-legged and motionless with eyes closed among the roots of a tree in the jungle of Bara, about 100 miles south of the capital, Katmandu.

 

He's supposedly been that way since May 17 but his followers have been keeping him from public view at night.

 

Think somebody's slipping him Twinkies after the touristas leave?

Nah, he just spent a bunch of time on Amsterdam and he's just REALLY high.

Officers have not directly questioned the boy, who appears deep in meditation and doesn't speak.

 

Maybe he's dead???

 

Followers then place a screen in front of him, blocking the view and making it impossible to know what he is doing at night, Mahat said.

 

That's when he busts out the current issue of Juggs and "gets busy".
