Wil's Rant

As much as I would like it to be true, I somehow doubt that this young lad is really a re-incarnation of Buddha. Not to say that this world doesn't desperately need one. If the lad is truly the Buddha, why all the cloak and dagger stuff? What are they doing at night that they don't want anyone to see? The path to enlightenment, I imagine, doesn't include a lot of secrecy. I would think that this path would be available to all and that a Buddha would very much want all of the rest of us to find it. So again, why the secrecy?
