Great headline, but say it ain’t so*, Ram Bomjan. (See here.) …And in case you didn’t know: Bomjan, the so-called “Buddha Boy” of Nepal, is considered a modern-day Buddha by some, and is eyed with supspicion by others. Either way, he makes for good copy.

From another account: “The victims said, Bamjan, with the help of a local, brought them to a local’s house and thrashed them saying they were trying to scuttle his meditation.”

Hm. Well, that’s disappointing. But I can’t say I don’t understand it!

* Update: turns out he can’t say it ain’t so….
