He's Really Watching Television

A 15 year old boy in Nepal has been sitting still meditating for the past six months, drawing thousands of people from all over the country to catch a glimpse. While most in the West have been practicing this sort of thing every night of their lives for the past few decades while happily ensconced in front of their television set, in countries where television has made less of a technological impact, this sort of thing is absolutely extraordinary.
The mental strength required to sit still for such long periods without a mind numbing glow emanating from a box in your bedroom to hypnotise you shows us all the power of the brain over the body. Truly remarkable.
