In the book of Leviticus, it says something like that about Buddha. Is it even possible for someone to go on like that malnourished?

You're sure Buddha is not in the Bible? The Christian Bible, right?

Bible is for christian and if you want you can learn about buddhism and it's peaceful nature.
and for that Buddha was on hard meditation, that he dont spend any time for going out and gather food, but he sat under a tree and have only a few of his followers donated, and it was for 6 years.
Sadly that method did not show him any result, that he changed his way to normal, not very extreme.
even some of his followers lost faith in him that time and left.
but he got what he seek afterwards.

If that story appears anywhere, it wouldn't be the book of Leviticus. Wrong religion, see. Buddha, not being a Christian or Jewish figure, doesn't actually appear in the Bible.

ok, historically, Buddha cannot be in the bible.
he lived around 500bce to the mid 400s bce. the torah (which contains Leviticus) is thought to be written around 1500bce.
so Buddha cannot appear in something that was written about 1000 years before he was born.

Another example of grasping at straws to discredit another faith. The book of Leviticus was written about 1400BC. The Buddha lived about 600BC so it is unlikely that he is mentioned in the book

i don't think the bible ever mentions buddha, india was too far away. buddha was enlightened he didn't need any earthly attachments, including a lot of food, so that would have been enough.

Budha is the being that one becomes after purification of body and spirit.
The Budha, Sidhartha, was an Indian prince. He became one only after he was referred to be by his disciples. He is not God, nor did he thought of himself to be holy. His greatest definition of himself was neither a prince, but simply a student of happiness. His quest was not holiness. It was the answer to the question why people are unhappy. He found his answer; and it was that because people want. He fasted for 40 days and nights to prove it. He experienced an encounter with the devil during that period, much as did Chirst- and was tempted to confront hunger, desire for sex, and power. Christ's temptation was also on food and power, however, not on desire for sex, but on to whom would he bestow homage. After this experience, he was enlightened. Seeing his empty cup floating and being carried away by the water, his lesson was made visually explicit: that when we are materially filled, we are also drowned in the tears of life.
Budha is the manifestation of man's divinity. Sidhartha's life and that of Christ as well, is a about that divinity- the true superiority of man; for, there is in man a spirit that is incorruptible, and that it becomes so if it rises above all forms materiality.
Budha is pure personal presence- without the baggage of imperfection (as pretending to be endowed despite the knowledge of one's poverty, or feeling superior despite the reality of it as merely a rejection of dependence). It is also the expression of empathy, generousity, humility, nothingness...; it is in this state that one wants and needs nothing for it knows truly that it has already everything. In the presence of this person, we feel power and magnitude; some are obliged to pay homage.

basically desire makes us eat more. buddha ate to keep the body alive for he got the enlightment that he was the soul and he was not the body. he ate a little to keep the body alive.
we eat much mainly because of desire. try this once. control ur desire and eat a little . u will feel full. but desire for more tasty food and eat a lot. u will still feel hungry.
