"A teenage boy who many believe is the reincarnation of Buddha has re-emerged from the jungle in southern Nepal, attracting thousands of devotees, officials said today.
After retreating into the jungle for more than a year, Ram Bahadur Bamjan, 18, re-emerged Monday near Nijgadh town, about 100 miles south of the capital, Katmandu.
Upon hearing the news, thousands of Bamjan's followers, some from as far away as India, traveled to the site Tuesday to see him, police official Abhaya Joshi said over the telephone.
Joshi said Bamjan plans to talk to his followers for a few hours every day for a week before returning to the jungle to meditate."

If I had survived more than a year in the jungle - emerging only to find a bunch of men in dresses saying I'm someone else - going back into the jungle would probably be my response as well.
