What’s so weird is that all the media stories are calling this guy “the reincarnation of Buddha” which certainly throws a few doctrinal red flags up! Are the Nepalese actually saying that about this kid or are Western reporters just being lazy and confused? Does anybody know the “real” story about this in Nepal??
Enquiring minds want to know
You know, I had the same thought myself. It seems like reporters are notoriously bad about this. (I remember when Larry King had His Holiness the Dalai Lama on his show and introduced HIM as “the reincarnation of the Buddha.”)
