Fasting
Journal Title: Online Journal of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (OJCAM) - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
In Nepal, five hours from Katmandu, in the middle of the forest, people come to meditate and pray in front of young Yogi. 24 hours a day, this young man sits in the hollow of a tree, in full meditation. He does not move, he does not eat, he does not drink. He remains sited quiet, breathes very little, very gently and does not need anything. For the believers, he is the reincarnation of Buddha! Miracle or not? Once, Buddha was touring with a large group of monks he addressed them saying “I, monks, do not eat a meal in the evening. Not eating a meal in the evening, I, monks, am aware of good health and of being without illness and of buoyancy, and strength and living in comfort. Come, do you, too, monks, not eat a meal in the evening. Not eating a meal in the evening, you too, monks, will be aware of good health and living in comfort."
