Ram Bahadur Bomjon (previously known as Palden Dorje, currently known as
Maitriya Guru Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha) is widely respected in Nepal
and abroad as the Buddha Boy. He has a strong group of followers in
Nepal and abroad, from many areas, including political personalities and
influential businessmen. In contrary to his teachings about
non-violence, world-peace and compassion, his own actions and the deeds
of his followers are often reported by victims, witnesses and the media
as violent and morally inconsistent. Due to the prolonged political
crisis in Nepal the situation still does not allow a valid law
enforcement, thus the extensively controversial behavior of Ram Bahadur
Bomjon can go unnoticed and often unrecorded, and the perpetrators are
enjoying impunity. This situation had been described on The Himalayan
Times, asking "Is Buddhaboy above the law?".
Due to a proactive "reputation-clearing-campaign" (see below article)
announced by a prominent devotee of Maha Sambodhi, in September 2012, a
significant amount of controversial articles had disappeared from the
Nepali online media (the list of "emptied links" is below this article),
or had been made practically unsearchable on the Internet, as for
example the once regularly updated the Himalayan Times articles dealing
with the "Buddha Boy"
