NEPAL -- A documentary on Ram Bahadur Bomjon ("Buddha Boy") who has been meditating for three years without food or water. Ram Bahadur Bamjan is known by many as a reincarnation of a bodhisattva (a being bent on full enlightenment, aiming for buddhahood). It is a misnomer and a mistake to think he is the historical Buddha (Shakyamuni). A buddha no longer undergoes rebirth, but rather has broken through the delusion, greed, and aversion that bind beings to continued rebirth.
