There did not seem to be anything in the story that refutes the boy's claim ?

No, they don't. All the people got to do is wear the Anti-Sham Amulet, blessed by some monk.

As Buddha went to Nirvana (nothingness) and that was the end of his rebirths, for him to be reborn means the religion is based on a lie. 

That was only one Buddha, Gautama Siddartha. There can be many Buddhas.

Except it teaches reincarnation, multiple levels of 'heaven and hell', gods in different levels of existence, etc. How is that not religion? It just doesn't refer to a creator god.

Not very original. We've already had a "Buddha Boy" in Nepal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Bahadur_Bomjon

I've long said... the reason there isn't new Messiahs today is because they'd either be locked up, sent to a mental institute or killed for having the gall to come out, or lastly ridiculed.

 

So why do we put so much faith in old Messiahs recognising the people of the time, were worse logically thinking in their era and or superstitious to a degree considered mental today.

 

This is a good point, there was a discussion somewhere about this, something akin to a Ted Talk. Basically the majority of old structures will never give way to something new, the core religions of the world will brook no opposition or interference. If Jebus was to arrive tomorrow he would definitely have to lean heavily on the magic miracles, and even if he raised someone from the dead again, or stopped bullets like Neo, they would still say he is not our the guy. Governments also don't like miracles, it makes the nervous, it gives people ideas and makes them uppity.

 

I'm not stating here that one thing is real and another is not, how the heck would I know. All I see as I've gotten older is that many have made/convinced themselves that we are the pinnacle of creation, the darling favorite of the divine, and we know how the cosmos/existence works. We're such imaginative rascals.

Humor, obviously  not your strong point. 

[retarius]

Clearly not fake news or misinformation. 

[wealthychef]

As a person with no religion, I don't see much difference between this boy and any other religious claims.  

[john donson]

and who is the dalai lama supposed to be ?

 

Who is the current Buddha?

 

 

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. He is the spiritual leader of Tibet.

It's starting to look a little culty.. I'm just saying.  

As soon as they start talking about magic and other planes of existence and the beings therein, whilst wearing matching jackets.

 

Yes it does look that way, many versions of Christianity have popped up all over the world, mostly cults, or, cults in disguise, only a matter of time b4 Thailand catches on.

To be a religion you require the believe in a God. Buddhism does not have a god

But not a supreme God as taught in say Christianity. Reincarnation is not attributed to the existence of a god like it would be in a religions.
