Ram Bomjon: 21st Century Buddha Boy?
from London Telegraph

In southern Nepal, a 15 year-old boy named Ram Bomjon has been meditating for six months under the same kind of tree Buddha did when he was his age. Buddha did this about 150 miles away from where Bomjon is, and both their mothers have the same name. The only difference is that a giant theme park has sprung up around him in the forest where he came to meditate.
