Some think he is the Buddha reincarnate, but many question his handlers' assertions that he does not eat or drink water for months at a time in his meditative states. What it comes down to is whether or not it matters if he is 'a' Buddha or the reincarnate Buddha. Teachers are teachers, Buddhists are Buddhists and every single being has innate Buddha-nature. We are all Buddhas, only some of us have not parted the clouds that keep us from realizing our innate nature.

The sad thing is that your link to "What Would Buddha Do" is the perfect example of what Buddha would not do. He would likely as not point out the ridiculous craving to consume. Hello attachment? Hello Hungry Ghosts? Then likely point out that a number of the crappy 'Buddha' objects for sale are made in China among other places where horrible human rights violations are common. Everything is connected and if you're being mindful, you're certainly not going to buy something that may have been crafted by people who were being poisoned, tortured or abused as purchasing that would simply increase the amount of torture, abuse, et cetera. -

I consider Gautama and Jesus to be two of the most insightful geniuses of human nature in recorded history.

I think anyone with the mental capability can at least benefit from their genius. I hope someday soon we separate it out from "religion" and make it accessible to more people.

I have never studied Buddhism but have practiced meditation to find what I hope to be the truth, in my search I have found that all life is important but all life has a purpose. When I read stories or articals of people lighting themselves on fire it makes me question whether they have found the truth, giving ones life to make a statement in my mind is not a part of finding the truth. The same applies to giving away all of ones possessions, we are not all teachers and what we can do for mankind is done in many ways.

Again, its asian. Asia is a horrible place, in general. Poverty, relentless tyrants, no justice, massive overpopulation.

There no golden rule in asia. Kindness is considered a weakness in China. This is why Buddhism makes sence in Asia.
Buddhism makes only partial sence so far in America, but as republicans destroy the country, and the rich get richer, and religion encourages overpopulation, and society is destroyed, Buddhism will increase, along with all the other forms of ignorance.
All religion is santified ignorance. With not a little measure of arrogance and coniving control by con men.
