Fifteen-year-old Ram Bahadur Bamjon has not been seen since early Saturday, said Hari Krishna Khatiwada, a district official of Bara, 150 km (95 miles) southeast of Kathmandu.
The boy had been meditating there without food or water since May. Some of his followers are also missing.
"So far we have found no trace of them," Khatiwada said.
Sitting cross-legged beneath a "pipal" tree, which is sacred to Hindus, Bomjon drew more than 100,000 people to the dense forests in southeastern Nepal.
But visitors were only allowed to see him from 50 metres (165 feet) away and the boy was hidden from public view at night behind a curtain drawn by his followers.
(If they don't find him, here is another myth to add to the list?)

Very interesting!! Maybe he needed to find a Burger King.
Sad... I hope that he's ok and that foul play isn't involved.
LOL! Needed to find a Burger King
Maybe he is having a blast hiding from everyone! Maybe he didn't want to be Buddha anymore. Wherever he is, I too hope foul play isn't involved.
How weird. I hope you'll update us if they find anything. Or him.
I will write a new post if I find anything new.
Okay, I'm the Buddha boy! It was just a little practical joke I was playing on some gullible people.
Tommykey - you mean the Buddha boy blogs? Hey that's a tongue twister!

My father's favorite words of advice has always been "moderation in all things". I had never seen him over-indulge in anything in my whole life.
