reincarnation of Buddha

Ram Bahadur Banjan, 16, a missing teenage boy in KATMANDU, Nepal ( believes to be the reincarnation of Buddha ).

Eight months have already passed since he began his "deep meditation" but the confusion whether he has really not eaten or drunk anything during this period is still unresolved. It has been claimed that the 16-yr-old has not drunk even a single drop of water since he began his meditation on May 17, last year.

Authorities in Nepal urged religious groups and scientists on to help solve the mystery of a meditating teenaged boy who some believe is an incarnation of Buddha

Buddha, who founded Buddhism, was born a prince in Lumbini, a dusty village in Nepal’s rice growing plains about 350 km west of the capital Kathmandu, over 2,600 years ago.
He attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya in Bihar that borders Nepal.

now is this just a sign of strong determination, like they say mind over matter ..or is it just his strong faith that's keeping him going..now thats something to think about..
