Boy Buddha Gave His First Public Speech

Remember Ram Bomjon, the Boy Buddha of Nepal? Mystery continues to swirl around the 18-year-old, which according to some is the reincarnation of Buddha.

Last month, Bomjon (who is also known by his official Buddhist name Palden Dorje) gave his first preaching. His message? "The only way we can save this nation is through religion."

With a message like that, I would’ve thought he was the reincarnation of George W. Bush. But, darn it, Bush is still alive, so there goes that theory…

Hmmm… I just read the article. Why on earth do people assume he’s some great leader? Wouldn’t a leader show a little more… I don’t know… leadership? He seems to spend most of his time alone, contemplating the mysteries of life. That’s all fine and good. But if you don’t interact with other people to teach or share what you’ve learned, does it really make a difference in the world?

What problem can’t be solved with more religion? Except maybe all of them.

He didn’t say anything about “religion”, he said spirituality. BIG DIFFERENCE!

“Spread spiritual knowledge and spiritual messages throughout the world. Spread the message of world peace to all. Seek a righteous path and wisdom will be yours.”
