KATMANDU, Nepal – A missing teenage boy who many believe is the reincarnation of Buddha has reappeared in the jungles of southern Nepal months after he went missing, an official said Tuesday.

Ram Bahadur Banjan, 15 or 16, was last seen March 11 in a forest where he had meditated for 10 months, allegedly without food and water. Thousands of Hindus and Buddhists flocked to see him every day.

The teen disappeared from his meditating spot among the roots of a tree in Bara, about 100 miles south of the capital Katmandu, where he had sat cross-legged and motionless with his eyes closed.

He was spotted by cattle herders in the jungle Sunday, and a team of police and officials was sent to investigate Monday, said Harihar Dahal, an administrative official in the area.

Speaking to those gathered around him, Ram said he had been at the same spot for three days.

"Apparently there were some people who spotted me. I was deep in meditation and did not even know that there were people around," he said.
