PROCEDURE : FOLLOW THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH 1. Right View- To understand wholesome deeds, unwholesome deeds and comprehend the law of Karma. 2.

Right Effort- Awakening zeal for abandoning of unwholesome states and arising & sustaining of wholesome states. 7.

8. Right Concentration- Abandoning of five hindrances namely lust, ill-will sloth-torpor, worry-agitation and doubt through jhanas. Meditation was an aspect of the practice of the yogis in the centuries preceding the Buddha. The Buddha built upon the yogis' concern with introspection and developed their meditative techniques, but rejected their theories of liberation. In Buddhism, mindfulness and clear awareness are to be developed at all times, in pre-Buddhist yogic practices there is no such injunction.

SUMMARY
Ram Bahadur Bomjon is from Ratanapuri village, Bara district, Nepal. Some of his supporters have claimed that he is a reincarnation of the Buddha. He drew thousands of visitors and media attention by spending months in meditation. Nicknamed the Buddha Boy, he began his meditation on 16 May 2005. He reportedly disappeared from the hollow tree where he had been meditating for months on 16 March 2006, but was found by some followers a week later.

 On 10 November 2008, Bomjon reappeared in Ratanapuri and spoke to a group of devotees in the remote jungle. He told them he had left his meditation place, where large crowds had been watching him, "because there is no peace". He then went his own way and reappeared elsewhere in Nepal on 26 December 2006, but left again on 8 March 2007. On 26 March 2007, inspectors from the Area Police Post Nijgadh in Ratanapuri found Bomjon meditating inside a bunker-like ditch seven feet square.

REACTION
The practice and devotion of Buddhism is directed at the world's betterment and happiness. If we experience the love of God and lead a life of love, we will be able to experience and actualize more brilliant value than we have ever experienced before.

 He urged people to recognize the compassion in their hearts, and their connection to one another through the all-encompassing soul. Unification of religions People's true happiness consists not in using reason but rather in reaching God through faith, or through heart.

Conclusion:
Be him an incarnate, be him kidnapped or eaten up by tigers - it is no doubt that he indeed had used Buddhist meditation powers to cause him to go into some sort of "hibernation". The pilgrims of the past were mostly mainstream scientific individuals, and the many skeptics to his repute return believers. The human body can indeed live without food or water. Buddhist meditation is not something psychological.
