A Burmese guy I met last night turned me on to this story of a Nepalese boy who's been meditating under a tree for 7 months without food or water, and plans to continue for another 6 years, as Buddha did, until he achieves enlightenment. This time, however, reporters will be watching. It's exciting, if not absolutely terrifiying, if the world will get its Buddha incarnate at this particular point in history.
