I cant stop thinking about this kid from nepal. The world is imploding on itself and we are seemingly on the eve of destruction and one kid decides to go sit in the woods and meditate and has become a worldwide phenomenon. He has been sitting for years now and was even filmed by the discovery channel for four straight days and he did not take food or water. (For all you skeptics I suggest you try to sit without moving for 20 minutes. ) some call him the reincarnation of buddha and he just reemerged from the woods to for a week to talk to people. I think it is endlessly fascinating that in the midst of all this chaos the act of just sitting is drawing the attention of the entire world. Imagine sitting without a TV.Friday, November 14, 2008

Great post dude. I can't stop thinking about Ram either. As you said, he was verified to stay motionless for 96 hours, which is the span of time required for an average human to die of thirst. Ram's physical condition did not deteriorate throughout the test either. He achieved this through the practice of "tumi", where Buddhists raise their body temperature through harnessing spiritual energy. That is why he was sweating even though it was just 5 to 15 degrees Celsius at the time. Oh, and he was wearing just a loincloth the whole time, as you can see.
ReplyDeleteEven if he ate or drank something over the ten months he was under the tree, it was still an amazing phenomenon. Some of his followers claim he ate nothing.
It's clear that something is going on with this kid. And he began medidation in 2005, with the expectation to attain Buddhahood in about six years. That is through 2011. The year after that, the ancient Mayan calendar predicted a worldwide spiritual change and the entrance to a new era (on 12/21/2012). Definitely a remote possibility, but something to think about. If the world worked like a movie plot (and granted, it usually doesn't), we would definitely expect something to happen here.
