What you do you think/feel/perceive of the nicknamed 'Buddha boy'?

Interesting... I have no special feeling when I watch the move or hear the name. Buddha just means the enlightened one so everyone can be buddha and everyone is buddha

Ram I think is a Buddha and a high developed being. I think such things are true.

That's a fairly old documentary. The young man in question is still around, has made a few public speeches, etc. He's still quite the mystic, and he's certainly never been shown to be a fraud in any way.

As for what I think about the Buddha, I am not a Buddhist, though I am reasonably well-versed in basic Buddhist tenets, so I think it would be incredibly presumptuous of me to contemplate the "second coming" of the original Buddha. Certainly, I believe (based on what I currently know) that this young man is extraordinarily gifted in the ways of certain kinds of extreme meditation. I can't speculate on why that may be (well, I can, but I won't). I'm aware that the Buddhist worldview would be that he is a reincarnated Buddha or a Bohdisatva or similar saint or holy man, etc. But, again, being not a Buddhist, how would I know? I can't look at it from inside that framework, because I haven't got the framework from which to look at it.

I don't get any particular feelings from/about it. Intellectually, I do find it extremely interesting and quite impressive on a variety of levels. This is a young man worth watching, so long as he's willing to continue to be in the public eye.

I wonder how this young man and his family have fare during the recent earthquake...

Its simple why hes a master of those meditation techniques that normally take a lifetime, he has mastered them in at least one previous life. Not that that makes it less admirable.
I certainly did have special feelings about it. I was having some kind of communication with him, in a way. I havent really visited yet, but im sure it will be good. I always liked Buddhism, I was a monk some times before.
