Outrage in Thailand: Boy Claims to Be Buddha’s Son in Bizarre Scam

The Thai Central Investigation Bureau has received a formal complaint against an eight-year-old boy, dubbed "Nong Nice," who is at the centre of a scandalous claim of being the reincarnated son of Lord Buddha, possessing magical powers to "connect people’s minds".

 

The complaint, lodged on Monday by an assembly of prominent social critics, accuses Nong Nice and eight others of breaching the Computer Crime Act, Donation Soliciting Act, and Child Welfare Protection Act. The complainants urged immediate action from the National Office of Buddhism, alleging that the "mind connection" office and its website are spreading false information.

 

Leading the charge are Ananchai Chaiyadet, lawyer; Praiwal "Peary" Wannabut; Thankhun Jitt-itsara; and Khun Ton Or, founder of the Be One Foundation. They also demanded the Sangha Council, which governs Thailand’s Buddhist order, to enforce stricter regulations to prevent distortions of Buddhist teachings.

 

Ananchai Chaiyadet expressed concerns that the boy’s parents are possibly behind this scheme, exploiting Nong Nice by claiming he is the reincarnated son of Lord Buddha with mystical powers linked to the naga, a mythical Thai serpent. "As a law-abiding citizen, it’s my duty to protect Buddhism from such distortions," he stated.

 

 

Thankhun Jitt-itsara highlighted that numerous victims have come forward, yet their cries for justice have been ignored. "People need to know that this is a sham," he added. Meanwhile, Khun Ton Or criticised the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security for their lack of action in halting Nong Nice’s dubious practices.

 

Despite filing multiple complaints with various authorities, including the police and the National Office of Buddhism, no substantial action has been taken, according to the Be One Foundation. Or Rak Khamram, self-identified victim and former attendee of a "mind connection" course, confirmed suspicions by revealing it to be a complete fraud.

 

As this case unfolds, public scrutiny and demands for stricter regulations are likely to intensify, putting significant pressure on Thai authorities to respond effectively.

And what if he is?

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.

Yes, I said Buddhism doesn't posit a creator god. But that doesn't disqualify it from being a religion. It asserts that there is a non-material, meta-physical world inhabited by multiple gods as well as heavens and hells. That makes it a religion. Just not an Abrahamic religion.

Yes it does. To be a religion you have to assume their is an over seeing god.

These religious thieves give real thieve a bad name.
