Re: the Prophecy of Maitreya

For first time in people known history great Being, with personal name Maitreya, decided to return in Earth physical life. Before this time he revealed Divine quality through advanced disciples on that time, like Krishna and Jesus. Before Maitreya, the function of World Teacher done another great Being, with personal name Buddha (who overshadowed prince Gauthama). Maitreya came with several great Teachers - Masters of Wisdom to teach and inspire humanity, not to lead them. Maitreya reasons to returning in this time is far to difficult to understanding for humble individual - like me.

With respects

Re: the Prophecy of Maitreya

Maybe you can think about this words:

˝Take My hand, My friends, and let Me lead you over the river.
Let Me guide you over the narrow bridge.

Let Me show you the beauty which rests on the other side.
That beauty, My friends, is your true Self.

Help Me, My friends, to help you, and together let us transform this world.˝

Maitreya

If by 'real' you mean the actual manifestation of the fifth Buddha as prophesised by Shakyamuni then Im afraid im going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

Interesting that in nearly 30 years he hasn't made a lot of progress there. Given that he is the Second Christ, the Jewish Messiah, The 10th reincarnation of Krishna the Imam Mahdi and the Buddha Maitreya (did I miss anyone out?) you wouldn't think it would be taking so long.
