I thought this was an interesting artical. This boy is said, by some, to be the reincarnation of Buddah. Have you heard of this and what do you think?

I am a Buddhist. It's common for many people to think that there is Buddha, and everyone worships him or learns from him or whatever. But no, even in the Buddha's time there are said to have been thousands of Buddhas. The word "buddha" is only another word for one who has reached Nirvana by extinguishing desire. So he may be a Buddha, who has chosen to come back after Nirvana to help people find the Path. But personally I think that it doesn't matter. If the end result is that more people are made content by hearing of this, then I have only this opinion: You go, Buddha boy.

Reading the article, from what I can gather the boy never actually claimed to be a 'Buddha'.
Although who are we to judge, is not all religion a belief based on faith, and as such both deniable/undeniable as any individual deems at the time. The important aspect about this is that his presence is bolstering the faith of those that are coming into proximity of him. What other people think does not matter.
Only time will tell.

Buddha cannot be reincarnated.A Buddha is one that has gained enlightenment and has broken free from the cycle of rebirth and samsara.
The boy can claimed wherever he wants;enlighten,arahant,etc,but to claim to be Buddha is an insult to all Buddhists because we are at present living in the era of Gotama Buddha.

Can't be Buddha. He obviously desires attention.
