This is a crazy story. The Golden Child[/URL]

The story wouldn't load for me, is this the one? Boy Called Reincarnated Buddha Missing[/URL]

It certainly does seem odd. I can believe that he has been meditating for 10 months but I don't buy the claim that he's had no food or water.

Yup. That's the one. I swear that is straight out of the old Eddie Murphy movie.

I've heard of ppl who live for awhile on just water alone, claiming they use the energy around them to sustain themselves. Or something like that. One of those things where you would have to see it to believe it.

There are many things I've seen/read regarding some of the practices done in different cultures and religions which were quite incredible and most strange. But going 10 months without food or water is one extraordinary claim, and is not even medically possible. So what do you guys think happened to the boy?

Eddie Murhpy movie? I'm drawing a blank PC

Strange story. It kinda makes me wonder if some sort of hoax is involved. Perhaps the boy passed away from the self-imposed(?) starvation and this was a cover? PC, it does sound like that old Eddie Murphy movie, was it called Golden Child? I'm drawing a blank also, but I do remember it.

I don't buy the 10 months without food or water. Buddhist monks are known to do some pretty amazing things, but I just can't see that as being medically possible. It is a shame about the kid. I hope they find him safe and sound.

Yup. The movie was "The Golden Child".

I hope they find the child as well. However, I can't help but feel that the entire story is bogus. Aside from the supposed 10 months without food or water, something sets off my bs detector.

Real or fake, it is still weird.
