A teenage boy has been meditating in a Nepalese jungle for six months, and thousands have flocked to see him, with some believing he is the reincarnation of Buddha, police and media said Wednesday. How could Buddha be back? I thought he achieved
enlightenment and thus liberated himself from the cycle of birth and rebirth. I thought that was the whole point.
Perhaps this is just the difference between "popular religion" and "theology."
