Searching for Buddha Boy

In this month’s GQ, George Saunders travels to southern Nepal in search of a 15-year-old boy who had sat under a tree for 10 months in silent meditation, apparently without food or water. Devotees claim that Ram Bomjon is a new Buddha and had flocked to see him and the strange lights that were said to emanate from his forehead. However, not long after Saunders’ visit, the boy disappeared with a promise to return in six years. A massive search operation was launched. More at the BBC, including video of the Buddha Boy.
