Who is Maitreya? Lord Maitreya - I believe in God. Books of the Teaching of Living Ethics

Mystical movement and blossoming of a rare udumbara flower forced us to write this article, and suddenly...

...What if, after all, Buddha Maitreya was born, what then? We will miss all the enlightenment and we will not see the Buddha like our ears. This cannot be allowed to happen. This is the greatest event in the world!

It seems like just recently Nepal was shaken up like it should be, you can’t envy it, many houses were destroyed, people died, a humanitarian catastrophe, but before that? And before that, a series of small earthquakes swept across the world; some are still shaking and shaking. And why am I doing all this? Moreover, this is an indicator that Maitreya or someone like him was born, and not only a new Buddha Maitreya, who will change the current evil world order (which is involved in lies, violence, humiliation and murder, in general, in one word, selfishness and negativity), and all his friends are, so to speak, assistants.

Udumbara blooms once every 3,000 years - ahead of schedule!

The rare udumbara flower blooms once every 3000 years, when the holy Buddha, Guru of Gods and Men, comes out into the world. By the way, a rare phenomenon that is worth appreciating even for non-Buddhists.

Udumbara has been blooming for 20 years in a row (it began to bloom in 1997 and not just anywhere, but in the communist country of China), so the exact time when Buddha Maitreya or someone similar in fortitude and spirituality buddha or bodhisattva born It's simply impossible to determine. But despite this, the fact remains a fact. Buddha entered the world of Saha, and this means the end of any evil and negativity and the flowering of spirituality. And charlatans, psychics and schizoterics, deceivers of all stripes and religious fanatics now just need to collect money and go to a desert island so as not to be exposed and not fall below the baseboard.

Coming of the Golden Age

In Buddhism, the blossoming of the rare udumbara flower heralds not only the arrival new buddha maitreya, but also the onset of a kind of Golden Age (Satya Yuga), which is associated with the preaching of doctrine. Buddhas do not just descend into our evil world (where people turn everything upside down), but in order to be a kind of beacon for a sinking ship, to be saviors, teachers and healers.

Golden age- this is not the same as among ignorant Hindus and schizotericists, no, for Buddhists this very expression or phrase means something different, not a thousand years of relaxed existence, but a thousand years of hard work for the benefit of beings, when everyone who wants to can achieve quick and easy awakening.

And for only one reason, all the necessary conditions for development and self-improvement in the Buddhist teachings - Dharma (at the level of Sutra and Tantra) will ripen. Earthquakes and large-scale disasters with or without casualties, the blooming of the Udumbara flower around the world speaks only of one thing - the old time or the Evil Time (Dark Age or Age of Kali Yuga) - has come to its final end. Although, the brave ones even argue that the Good Time has already come, and there is no point in waiting for the Buddha Maitreya or others like him to improve oneself.

Homeless and Matriarchy

Matriarchy consists of two words: Matreya And Arhat. The meaning of these two words is described at the bottom of the page

From the Book of Mark Amaru Pinkham "Conversations with the Goddess"
Introduction
A new era of the Goddess is coming! The feminine principle is being reborn all over the world, in our minds and hearts. For centuries, the Goddess was suppressed by God-worshipping traditions and the defenders of patriarchal ideology. It is time for Her to ascend to her throne again, it is time for the spirituality of the Goddess to receive recognition on an equal basis with the fundamentalist religions of the Patriarchy.
The process of the return of the Goddess formally began on August 16, 1987, and by August 11, 1999 it was already in full swing. On that significant summer day, a large group of us gathered in England, on Glastonbury Tor, and watched an unusual solar eclipse that marked the rebirth of the feminine. Then seven of the nine astrological "planets" - the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune - were united in the sky. Such a rare arrangement of planets united the four fixed signs of the Zodiac (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius), as well as the “animals” that correspond to them (the bull, the eagle, the lion and man). As a result of the union of these four “animals,” the heavenly Sphinx was created, one of the ancient forms of the Goddess. Thus the Goddess was symbolically reunited and resurrected.
The eclipse began at 11:11 GMT, and everyone gathered at Glastonbury Rock felt as if time had suddenly stopped and we were in "Dream Time", or the Fourth Dimension, which enveloped us like a thick fog. While under the influence of the next dimension, some of us have received visions of the Goddess or other ethereal deities; others felt their spirit soar and watched a string of their past lives. Everyone felt that something was ending.

ARHAT

Arhat – “worthy” (Pali arahant, Sanskrit arhat – “worthy”)
the highest stage that a follower of the Buddha can reach.
a person who has achieved complete liberation from affects and emerged from the “wheel of rebirth”, but does not possess the omniscience of the Buddha.

He studies the disciplinary rules and begins fourfold moral training (sila): 1) non-violence (ahimsa) directly and even indirectly towards all living beings and the cultivation of compassion for them (karuna); 2) avoiding the appropriation of other people's property not only in word, but also in thought, as well as envy; 3) fidelity to the vow of chastity, which includes abstinence not only from intercourse, but also from carnal desires; 4) truthfulness - avoidance of any lies and absence of guile. Moral training is followed by exercises in control of the senses, constant attention to oneself and the cultivation of compassion for living beings (maitri). After this, you can begin solitary contemplation, then the stages of meditation (four dhyanas) and, finally, the acquisition of superpowers (such as seeing your own and others’ previous reincarnations) and the perfection of omniscience.

In the chapter dedicated to the arhats, the compiler of the famous Dhammapadas characterizes the “worthy” as follows: “His desires are destroyed, and he is not attached to food; his destiny is liberation, free from desires and conditions. His path, like that of the birds in the sky, is difficult to understand. His feelings are calm, like horses bridled by a driver. He has renounced his pride and is devoid of desires. Even the gods are jealous of this” (translated by V.N. Toporov), and in the texts Vinaya-Pitaka An arhat is characterized very briefly - as a “superior man” (uttaramanussa). The closest disciples of the Buddha were considered arhats - Ananda, Sariputta, Maudgalyayana and all prominent figures of the early Buddhist monastic community (also some nuns).

The Arhat of all Arhats is the Buddha himself - “perfect, having achieved the highest enlightenment, endowed with [excellent] knowledge and behavior, blessed... teacher of gods and people.”

MAITREYA

The name Maitreya or Metteya (Pali) is a derivative of the word maitri(Sanskrit maitri) or metta(Pali: metta), meaning "good-heartedness", which in turn comes from the noun miter(Sanskrit mitra), mitta(Pali: mitta) - “friend”.

Maitreya is called the Buddha of the future.
Maitreya is a bodhisattva who, some Buddhists believe, will sooner or later appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach pure dharma.
Bodhisattva Maitreya will be the successor of the historical Buddha Gautama. It is predicted that he will be "the lord of the world, uniting his subjects." The prophecy of the arrival of Maitreya is found in the canonical literature of all schools of Buddhism and is recognized by most Buddhists as a statement about a real moment that will happen in the distant future.

One of the earliest mentions of the name Maitreya is a Sanskrit text "Maitreyavyakarana""The Prophecy of Maitreya", which states that gods, people and other beings will worship Maitreya and will lose doubts, and the streams of their attachments will dry up: free from all poverty, they will be able to cross the ocean of becoming, and, according to the teachings of Maitreya, they will lead a holy life. Never again will they regard anything as belonging to them, nothing will belong to them, not gold or silver, not a house, not loved ones! But they will lead a holy, chaste life under the guidance of Maitreya. They will break the network of passions, they will be able to enter into a sacred trance, and an abundance of joy and happiness will belong to them for their righteous life, led under the control of Maitreya.

Buddha Maitreya resides in Tushita Heaven, waiting until the time comes favorable for Salvation
Heaven Tushita is the fourth world from the bottom of the six Heavens of the gods of the World of Desires (World of Passions

In the world of Tushita, beings are reincarnated who kept the five commandments: do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, do not drink alcohol - as well as those who cultivated immeasurable states of consciousness through good deeds and meditation: Loving heart, Compassion, Sympathy (Praise), Balance of the Awakened Uma (Impartiality) - in other words, those qualities that constitute the essence of the awakened mind.

It is predicted that Maitreya will achieve enlightenment in seven days (the minimum period) due to the preparation for Buddhahood over his many lifetimes (similar to what is told in the Jataka narratives of Shakyamuni Buddha).

Maitreya is recognized by all sects of Buddhism. His name is often mentioned in commentaries in Buddhist literature.

In iconography, Maitreya is depicted in several forms. He often sits on a raised platform, similar to a chair or armchair. Sometimes he is depicted on a white horse. Sometimes he is depicted sitting in the traditional Buddha pose, with his legs crossed, or in lalitasana (a pose where one leg hangs down, sometimes resting on a smaller lotus, and the other lies as in the usual position of the Buddha).

Maitreya is decorated with decorations. If there is a crown on his head, then it is crowned with a small stupa (chaitya, chorten; a structure symbolizing the Universe in Buddhism). His body is golden yellow in color and he wears monastic robes. The hands are folded in the dharmachakra mudra (the gesture of expounding the Buddhist law is usually constructed as follows: the right hand is raised to shoulder height, the arm is tilted, the palm is turned outward, fingers together and upward, the left hand rests along the body downwards (in a standing position). There is a form Maitreya with three faces and four arms. One of his left hands holds a nagkesvara flower (saffron, a spice and orange food coloring obtained from the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus flowers). Crocus sativus), also called saffron. The word "saffron" comes from Arabic azafran(Arabic za?faran ??), which translates as “yellow.”), the position of one of the right hands is varada mudra (gesture of the bestower of good), the other two hands are folded at the chest in dharmachakra mudra, or in other gestures. Represents greeting, mercy, compassion and sincerity. Often depicted with the help of the left hand by those who labored to serve the salvation of mankind. A hand with an open palm turned outward points downwards. Usually varada mudra is used in conjunction with another mudra, depicted with the right hand, most often - abhaya-wise.

In the iconography of Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, in the first centuries of our era, Maitreya was the most popular character, along with Gautama Buddha.

KALKI AVATAR(Sanskrit) "Avatar of the White Horse" who will be the last manvantaric incarnation Vishnu, according to the Brahmins; Maitreya Buddha, according to Northern Buddhists; Sosiosha, the last hero and Savior of the Zoroastrians, according to the Parsis; And " Righteous and True"on a white horse ("Revelation", XIX, 2).

At His future appearance or tenth avatar, the heavens will open and He will appear “seated on a milky white horse, with a raised sword, shining like a comet, for the final destruction of the wicked, the renewal of “creation” and the “restoration of purity.” (Compare with “Revelation.” ) This will happen at the end of Kaliyuga, 427,000 years from now.

The said end of each South is called " destruction of the world", since the earth changes its appearance each time, flooding one system of continents and raising another.

According to some Brahmins, he himself will appear in the form Kalka's horse. Others claim that he will appear riding it. This horse is the shell of the spirit of evil, and Vishnu will ride him, remaining invisible to everyone, until he defeats him for the last time.

Buddhists The fifth incarnation is considered the last incarnation. When will it come Maitreya Buddha, then our current world will be destroyed and a new, better world will replace it. The four arms of each Hindu deity are emblems of the four previous manifestations of our earth from its invisible state, while the head signifies the fifth and last, Kalki Avatara, when this world is destroyed and the power of Budh Wisdom (among the Hindus Brahma) will again be called upon to manifest itself as the Logos to create the future world.

Lecture by Elizabeth Clare Prophet on the Teachings of Maitreya.

Invocation before the lecture.

In the name of the light of God that never weakens, by the power of the mighty unquenchable three-petalled flame, I ask for the expansion of the Buddhic light, the presence of Lord Maitreya in every heart.

Holy Christ Self of each, mighty three-petalled flame, expand, expand, expand for the victory of the God of Flame here below as well as above. Accept now the cup of our being, O God. Embrace our life. Multiply your blue-flame arrows of white fire, your blue-flame light. Seal us in the cylinder of God's holy will.

Strengthen the action of the Ruby Ray and the white fire of the Divine Mother. Come, O illumination of the Cosmic Christ. May the mighty sword of Maitreya free everyone from self-deception, from everything unreal.

I call upon the Great Cohorts of Victors. Legions of Light, angels of blue lightning from the heart of God, bind the entire false hierarchy of usurpers of the Real Self.

I invoke the sword of Maitreya. Bind the threshold guardian, depression, death and hell of the threshold guardian of everyone's unreal self.

Come, O Mighty Buddha. Come, Gautama, Sanat Kumara. In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Divine Mother. Amen.

Good evening!

The presence of Maiteria is a great joy because it implies depth, vitality and acceleration. Although the worship of Maitreya came to us from the Buddhist tradition, for us he is, first of all, the Universal Christ, the universal Buddha, who is yet to come and who announced his coming through his closest disciple Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ here, in the Heart (Inner Abode), announced the coming of Maitreya and his founding of the School of Mysteries here.

The teachings of Lord Maitreya, according to his own words, are the teachings of his sons, the ascended masters. All of them are bodhisattvas striving to become Buddhas.

The great teaching of the Age of Aquarius that we have received is the sacraments of Jesus Christ, who was the herald and messenger of Maitreya. Jesus taught these truths two thousand years ago. We can verify this by comparing the Gnostic texts, the teachings given to us by the ascended masters, with what came to us from the east.

Just like in Christianity, in modern Buddhism there is a thousand-year-old tradition and legends telling about the coming of Maitreya. All this is a repeated repetition of revelation received in ancient times, and is devoid of modern knowledge that is given to us in the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and in the wonderful dictations of Maitreya.

We see that the teachings of Gautama, Sanat Kumara and Maitreya are as far from the modern version of Buddhism as the teachings of the Ascended Master Jesus Christ are from the modern version of Christianity. We must remember this and not try to limit the modern Maitreya, the great Ascended Master, who comes to us as the Cosmic Christ, teaching us with the help of World Teachers Jesus and Kuthumi the path to achieving individual Christhood. We must not try to squeeze modern teaching into the framework of an unrenewed Buddhist history. Nor should we question modern revelations by saying, “They don’t fit with the ancient prophecies; they must be false.”

Prophecies are given so that the sons and daughters of God on earth can change them, for example, the statement that we find in both Buddhism and Christianity that an age of darkness must come in order for the Messiah to appear.

If you look at current events, this is where everything is heading. But this does not mean that it should be so. We would not be here if we believed that the prophecy of planetary darkness would inevitably be fulfilled before the great illumination or coming of the Universal Christ could become possible.

So we believe in free will, which we exercise by invoking the sacred fire and the violet flame. And this means that it is possible to change the course of cycles, at least change the course of individual cycles in each of us’s own microcosm. And no matter what happens to the planet, in our own being we can experience a golden age, such news, very important news, was brought to us by our beloved Archaea Hope. In our own aura, in our own force field, we can experience the highest octaves of Light, samadhi, nirvana, golden ages. We can live in that etheric octave, which Buddhists call the Tushita heaven, where Maitreya, together with his disciples, awaits the hour of incarnation.

This expectation and hope for the coming coming of Christ has created a vacuum, as obvious as two and two make four. There is no Christ incarnate, darkness covers the earth, and therefore the coming of great darkness is logical, since the prophecies proceed from the fact that Christ has not yet come. You know very well that Christ came to you as your Holy Christ Self.

So the assignment of the incarnation of the Word to an indefinite future is a lie, the seeds of which have penetrated into all world religions. Jews believe that the Messiah has not yet come, Muslims generally believe that Jesus was not Christ, but simply a great teacher.

So where is the religion that claims that the Second Coming of Christ has already happened? This is the religion. This is the religion of the Ascended Masters and their chelas who have revealed Christ and therefore understand.

Now I want to tell you about the origin of Buddhist beliefs and teachings, as well as a very special story about the coming of Maitreya, about who will and who will not be able to see him when this happens. Before presenting to you certain historical and theoretical Buddhist postulates, I would like to remind us all that Maitreya is not the Buddha of the future, and not the Buddha of the past, he is the Buddha of the present, who is among us. Maitreya can reside in your heart, just as Guan Yin often wears a figurine of Amitabha Buddha on his headdress.

You must declare this and walk the earth knowing that your teacher, your friend, your Guru, Maitreya lives in you and you are his representative, wherever you are. Because I am full of compassion, full of wisdom, have subordinated my whole life to it, because I live in accordance with the will of God, I AM THAT I AM Maiteria. And every time you put it off, even for five minutes (because at that very moment you are irritated, upset, depressed, too busy) you join this lie about his coming in the indefinite future.

I know why Maitreya is coming today. He is looking for disciples who would not be led astray by, for example, the teaching of Benjamin Cream, the teaching of the false hierarchy that Maitreya is incarnate and lives in London, his preaching about the unification of the whole world under the auspices of the United Nations and the redistribution of life's goods, like the only means of salvation, all those old theories of the Serpent of the Garden of Eden, socialism and communism, the neutralization of the law of karma: “No, you shall not die.” Genesis 3:4. No, we should not believe that the coming of such a being is limited to one body of flesh and blood, and become idolaters.

We know for sure that the terms are shortened for the chosen ones, so we do not have to wait 560,000 or 80,000 years or the periods that appear in the Buddhist tradition in order to find Maitreya next to us. We must separate the wheat from the chaff in all world religions. I want to remind you that the disciples of the Ascended Masters have made great personal sacrifices, have endured a lot in order to acquire this land, to acquire ownership of it, to move here, to move, they put off all the usual things for everyone else in order to find time for daily decrees, all for the fulfillment of our purpose and the establishment of religion.

Having gone through all these adversities, we should not easily give up the essence, which is the embodiment of the Divine Flame right where we are. Is it really for this that we made these sacrifices, gave all of ourselves, our whole lives so that the true religion of the Divine Mother, taught by her Sons, among whom are Gautama, Maitreya and others, so that this religion could exist on earth, is it so that to believe the stupid lies that dominate the world's religions in this Dark Cycle of Kali Yuga. Therefore, we who have dedicated our lives to the great salvation must really live for it and actually demonstrate it and not spill the last drops of our cup of victory by allowing the thought of the possibility of postponing it, even for a moment, in time and space.

Whatever you command is done now. All that an Ascended Master is exists now in your Holy Christ Self. Whoever is and whatever is – everything is God. And you know that God is your Mighty I AM Presence here and now, which is next to you and which is your very life and your being.

When you say I AM THAT I AM, claim Divinity, be it, act accordingly. And if you feel like you've strayed from the matrix, take the reins as you would a horse and get back on track. This is all we can all do in our quest to change the imperfect form. We simply must tirelessly move forward and work on ourselves and not believe that since yesterday we fell out of harmony, then today our God is not with us. Otherwise, we might as well join some orthodox in the future.

We, who possess the truth for which we are not sorry to give our lives, must be this truth. Because if we don’t become her, she won’t remain on earth after we leave. No one will remember our teaching if we do not put it into practice.

So let's talk about Maitreya in historical context. Understand that we too will eventually become history, but at this moment it does not matter to us. We do not live on the pages of a historical treatise. We live in the Eternal Now at the most decisive moment for planetary cycles.

And we are determined to make our mark. Today in this Eternal Now the moment has come for Maitreya to unite with our beings. Let's start by striving for mercy and compassion, Kuan Yin, which helps our unity. I'd like to put on song number 424. You and I will sing the song "Heart, Head and Hand" and take a few of these vows before we get into the actual teaching.

Let'slet's get upForsongs.

MAITREYA

Many Buddhist texts contain prophecies from the Buddha about the coming decline of Buddhism and the coming of a new Buddha who will restore the true teachings and the earth will enter a new golden age.

In the Maha-parinibbana Suttanta, a Buddhist treatise written in Pali, the ancient language of the early Buddhist scriptures, Gautama tells his closest disciple Ananda: "I am not the first Buddha to come to earth, nor the last. In due time another Buddha, a Holy One, will come into the world , supremely enlightened, endowed with perfect wisdom, good, knowing everything about the universe, incomparable ruler of people, ruler of angels and mortals."

"He will reveal to you the same eternal truths that I teach you. He will preach his religion, great in its birth, great in its flowering, great in its purpose, in its spirit and in its letter. He, like me, will proclaim a righteous life , perfect and pure."

“How shall we recognize him?” asks Ananda. With the calm confidence of omniscience, the Blessed One replies: “He will be known as Maitreya, which means “he whose name is kindness.”

In another Pali text, Gautama Buddha predicts that when the human lifespan reaches eighty years (most other treatises give the figure of eighty thousand years), “he whose name is Maitreya will come into the world. Holy, fully enlightened, omniscient and living a righteous life life.

The good one, the one who knows the world, the incomparable Ruler of the people obedient to him... Just as now I have come into the world, this Saint, this completely enlightened one, will teach this world and the world of the gods, as well as the kingdom of Death and the world of the Highest Gods, all beings, without making a difference between the monk and Brahman, between God and man, realizing his knowledge with his own outstanding powers.

Like me, who teaches this world and the world of the Gods, he will proclaim the teaching that is beautiful in the beginning, beautiful in the middle, beautiful in the end, and will explain its spirit and letter. In its perfection and purity, he will show a holy life, as I did and do. Many thousands of monks will follow him, just as many hundreds follow me."

Let us bow before the words of the Lord of Peace and pay our respects by taking the second oath to Guan Yin. (song647. vow 2)

I desire/I vow to soon achieve the eye of perfect wisdom!

Where he spoke about the handprint of Maitreya, a photograph of which still continues to heal people who use it. Therefore, for many this will not be something completely new. In addition, many have already successfully used this photo and have had good results in helping themselves and their loved ones.

Since about 1972, Benjamin Creme has been informing the public that Maitreya was soon to leave the Himalayas and come to people. In fact, he did not say anything new, because... Many Teachings and religions say that a certain messenger or messiah must come. Maitreya is one of his names. But he can be called differently, this is not an important point, because... this is a multifaceted and great personality, who has many names and is capable of taking on different forms (for example, from the information that has come down to us, we know that Christ could change his appearance and was not recognized, this is known information to everyone).

We need to start with the fact that spiritual and pure people communicated and continue to communicate with the Mahatmas. You all know about direct contacts with the Mahatmas of such a famous person as Roerich, who is closer to us and who presented a description of these meetings in an understandable form, devoid of Indian complicated philosophy or excessive religiosity.

Benjamin Creme had exactly the same contacts (since 1959), who called them Masters of Wisdom and who informed him that in about 20 years the Universal Teacher would have to leave his secret refuge, invisible to people, and return to the world of urban civilization, and that the Cream can help people prepare for this major event. Since then, Benjamin Creme has been doing a lot of work to disseminate information about the coming of Maitreya, being in contact with the Masters of Wisdom all this time. He gave many lectures around the world, and wrote books about it, translated into many languages. Also, a magazine on this topic has been distributed in 70 countries around the world for many years.

As promised by the Masters of Wisdom through Benjamin Creme, Maitreya came to us in 1977 (while some Masters of Wisdom came with him or before him to help his cause, some of them have ordinary physical births in ordinary families and you will never know or already know about them, but have no idea about their high status). Since 1977, without announcing his presence among people, he begins to gradually manifest his actions in order to gradually prepare humanity for his obvious appearance. At the same time, appearing in front of people and helping them, he changes his appearance. Therefore, someone testifies that they saw Christ, someone Buddha, someone Mahavira, someone Muhammad, etc.

Its very first major phenomenon occurred in 1988 in Nairobi (Kenya). A man in white robes suddenly appeared before a large gathering of people praying for healing. Those gathered recognized Jesus Christ in him and reverently knelt. The editor of the Kenyan Swahili edition of the Times, an experienced journalist, Jacob Mutungi, witnessed this event and took several photographs (). Below is a summary of his article published in the Kenya Times:

Some 6,000 worshipers in Kawangware, Nairobi, believe they saw Jesus Christ in broad daylight last week. The scene was Bethlehem Church, where Mary Sinaida Akatsa led a congregation of believers praying for a miracle to heal the blind, crippled, insane and infertile. The worshipers were singing a popular hymn in Swahili when Mary Akatsa interrupted them. She announced that God had spoken to her and told her to “wait for a miracle, because a very important guest will now arrive to convey an important message.” After five minutes, she asked those singing the hymn to be silent because the messenger had arrived. "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus Christ!" - there was an enthusiastic whisper from those gathered, raising their hands in prayerful greeting. A tall figure of a barefoot, bearded man in white clothes appeared out of nowhere and stood among the crowd. He slowly sprinkled holy water on the path towards the church, which was being built not far from the large tent where the meeting was taking place. Mary walked next to him. I looked at the stranger without blinking, as if spellbound. A mysterious light flashed from time to time around his covered head, around his feet and throughout his body. In perfect Swahili, without the slightest accent, the mysterious man announced that the people of Kenya had received a blessing, especially those who had gathered at this place and at this time. "The era of the Kingdom of Heaven (heavenly rule) is approaching. But before that, I will return and bring you all a full jar of blessings," he said. When the man was about to leave, Mr. Gurnam Singh offered him a ride. But another miracle awaited Gurnam Singh. When this man got out of the car, he simply disappeared into thin air.

Benjamin Creme's comment:

The man from Nairobi was Maitreya. He chose his appearance in accordance with the ideas of those gathered about the appearance of Jesus Christ, hence His bearded face and biblical clothes. The jar of blessings with which Maitreya promised to return is an allusion to himself, the “Water Bearer,” a symbol of the Age of Aquarius. "A mysterious light flashing from time to time around his covered head, around his feet and throughout his body" is constantly seen by those who surround Maitreya.

Such phenomena become more frequent over time. Under different guises, Maitreya also appears on various television programs in many countries, giving interviews. Therefore, it is likely that you have even seen it more than once. Of course, no one announces that it is Maitreya speaking (only a few know about this). As I already said, Maitreya is a unique being; he can be present in several places at the same time. He may come to you personally to help, like an ordinary person, and you may not even understand who it was, but you will be able to feel it in your heart.

According to Benjamin Creme (based on information he received from the Masters of Wisdom), as of 2014, Maiteya had made the following number of appearances on public television: USA: 29 interviews (January 2010-January 2011); Mexico: 14 interviews (January-September 2011); Brazil: 41 (September 2011 – January 2013); Russia: 41 (from January 2013 to March 14, 2014). A total of 125 interviews. I repeat again that this is done under different guises. You may just hear from a person on TV, who looks like an ordinary person, some words of wisdom that suddenly entered your heart so easily. Or you caught his deep gaze, etc.

Below are some new, up-to-date answers from Benjamin Creme from his magazine "Share International", which, as mentioned above, is distributed in 70 countries.

Q. Has Maitreya increased the number of his interviews, given the problems in Ukraine and Russia at present?
Oh no.

Was V. Maitreya present at the demonstrations in Kyiv?
Oh yeah.

Q. Have the Masters of Wisdom in Moscow been involved in any way with the current situation in Russia and Ukraine to try to defuse tensions?
A. Not directly.

Q. Can we hope that the power of the people in Russia, calling for peace, will influence the situation?
Oh yeah.

Q. Would it be correct to say that a new phase of the appearance of Maitreya has begun?
Oh yeah. Due to humanity's readiness for change.

Q. Will there be many Masters of Wisdom working in our world and perhaps in the political field?
Oh yeah!

Q. Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom are able to change their appearance at will?
Oh yeah

If someone still does not understand what is written on this page, then I will explain it even more simply: if you pray or ask for something, for example, Christ, Muhammad, Buddha, etc., then he can come to you in physical appearance. Exactly to you, precisely in the body. For example, you can talk to someone you meet on the street or an unfamiliar fellow traveler on the bus, etc. And it will turn out to be precisely this high personality, who is known to humanity under many names. It’s not for nothing that there are many parables, legends and myths from different nations, where a similar story is told, when the Saint walks among people, taking on different forms, and then asking them for a little money, like a beggar, then for an overnight stay, then appearing in other roles . And he watches how people react to him. And according to this, it helps them or does not help them. These times have come in reality. Therefore, pay special attention to everything that happens around you in your life. Walking down the street and suddenly seeing some beggar asking you for alms, you risk meeting the great Saint in his form. There are many options.

I especially want to dwell on the design of the triangular pyramid that was given to Benjamin Creme by the Masters of Wisdom. Below is a photo of her (also in large size).

This is a special pyramid design, which is part of a meditation aimed at transferring energy from higher dimensions to this world. The structure itself consists of a tetrahedron made of glass, a quartz crystal in the center and metal parts (disks and wires) inside the pyramid made of silver, gold and magnets.

There are also groups of people organized to conduct regular meditations to channel the higher energies of the Hierarchy of Masters of Light into the earthly plane. This meditation is called Transmission Meditation.

Here is what Benjamin Creme says about this meditation, which is compiled entirely from the teachings of the Masters of Wisdom:

Transmission meditation is a way of serving the world. Unlike many other meditations, it attracts only those people who want to serve people. Masters of Wisdom have colossal spiritual energies at their disposal. The main job of the Masters of Wisdom is to distribute these energies so that the Plan of Evolution destined for our planet is realized. Transmission groups act like “high-voltage substations,” transforming spiritual energy and making it available to most people. There are several hundred transmission groups around the world that meet regularly at a specific time, on a specific day, once, twice, or three times a week. Having gathered, the group says out loud (mantra). This call was given to humanity by Maitreya in 1945 to provide us with the technique to call upon the energies that would transform our world and prepare for His coming.
As a result of pronouncing this mantra, with attention concentrated in the ajna center (between the eyebrows), an energy channel is formed from the participants of the meditation group to the Masters of Wisdom. Through this channel the Masters of Wisdom channel energies. Through the process of Transmission Meditation, your chakras are activated in a scientific and most effective way. This work changes a person deeply. Most people notice that they have changed for the better. We became more energetic, more confident, and more organized in our work. A huge number of people received unexpected healing during the Transmission. Transmission meditation is a safe, scientific activity that does not depend on religion. It does not interfere, but on the contrary, helps other types of religious and spiritual practice. To participate in the transfer of spiritual energy, no special knowledge or experience is required. All you need is to keep the physical brain aligned with the Soul, the High Self. To do this, just focus on the center between the eyebrows and mentally pronounce the sound “Om.” During transmission, try to constantly keep your attention on the center of Ajna, between the eyebrows. If your attention wanders, say “Om” to yourself and restore concentration on this center. The transmission group transmits spiritual energy not to the physical level, but to the level of the specific mind, therefore the sound “Om” should not be pronounced out loud, but mentally. Concentrate not on the sound, but on the center between the eyebrows. While you have little experience, you can limit the duration of the transmission. For example, one hour. But after the group has become stronger, it is recommended to continue the transmission until the flow of energy stops. Group members should not direct energy to a specific person, group or country. It is enough that we act as active, balanced mental channels through which energies are transmitted in a scientific manner.

From the Point of Light in the Mind of God
Let the Light flow into the minds of people.
Let the Light descend to Earth.

From the point of Love to the Heart of God
Let Love flow into the hearts of people.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let the Purpose guide the small wills of people,
That Goal, knowing which the Teachers serve.

From the center that we call the human race,
May the Plan of Love and Light come true,
May he seal the door where evil resides.

May Light, Love and Power
They will restore the Plan on Earth.

The concept of “Christ” means the being of Light who came to people at different times. Christ is not a name, it is a status. This Call works in any case, even if you make a mistake somewhere and substitute another word or say it in your own words somewhere, if you forget. This is not a prayer and not quite a mantra. This is the intention. Words only help create intention. One might even say that it is similar to a Vedic hymn.

As I wrote above, Benjamin Creme, before the arrival of Maitreya, wrote books about him and about the world that is expected with his arrival. One of his main books is the book “The Mission of Maitreya”. Other books: “Teachings of Eternal Wisdom”, “Transmission Meditation of the New Era”, “Maitreya. The Great Convergence" and others. If you want, you can read it.

Basically, the Teachings of Maitreya boil down to the fact that everyone should do something for the world. This is called service. God gave us hands and minds to do. But some people think that you can do things with your tongue. But no, language is given to us in order to say how to do and what to do. It is unacceptable to remain inactive when the world so needs our work. I am very pleased that the Masters of Wisdom and Maitreya, through Benjamin Creme, encourage people to participate in mass events, such as rallies and other gatherings aimed at ending wars, stopping the suppression of people's freedom, for reforms aimed at improving people's lives. . Talking about freedom, justice, equality and reforms in Russia to people who have come to terms with their slavery is perhaps the most difficult thing.

It is noteworthy that Benjamin Creme was born in 1922 and still looks very energetic and cheerful. And he never stops working on his Mission.

A few excerpts from Benjamin Creme's books

About the OM mantra:

In fact, this is his attempt to explain to ordinary people how OM should sound correctly inside our mind.

  1. I can’t understand what it means to think “Om” during Transmission in order to return attention to the ajna center. Does this mean seeing “Om” in your mind?
  2. You don't see "Om", but you think "Om". This is a thought, the sound “Om” in the mental world, which you mentally pronounce, and do not imagine the inscription “Om”. This is the sound of Om, although you do not say it out loud. But in the mental world you make sound.
  1. Thinking the sound "Om"?
  2. Think "Om". Just like you think any thought. Think the thought “Om”, not the inscription, but the sound.
  1. Maybe the question is whether “Om” should be heard throughout the entire head or limited to the center where attention should be directed?
  2. It must be in the mind, where mental activity occurs: your brain. You think "Om". You say your name is John. Think "John". Or "Alice". It's a thought like any other.
  1. But... if I only think of a word as I think of “book”...
  2. You don't think differently, but the word itself is different, that's the point. "Om" is a great mantra.
  1. There must be a way to think about this word so that we hear it sound better than before.
  2. You don't hear it, you think it. Thinking and hearing are different phenomena. You can do it fast or slow, but it's a thought. It is no different from any other thought, except for its echo, the response vibration in the mind. That's what draws your attention to the ajna center - vibration. If you say "Om" loudly, the vibration occurs at one level. If you pronounce in a whisper, then on a different level. If you think it, the vibration arises at the highest level.
  1. How to coordinate “Om” and breathing?
  2. No way. You can think “Om” at any time, regardless of breathing. This is not a case of “pronouncing as you exhale” or “pronouncing as you inhale.” Just when you notice that attention has left ajna, think “Om.” Resonance, the response vibration in the mental world from the thought “Om”, returns attention to the ajna center.
  1. Do you publish Om?
  2. You don't publish. You think. It's easier than people imagine. You don't need to do breathing exercises at all. You let the breath follow its own rhythm, and it becomes slower and slower until it almost disappears. When it slows down, you will notice that your thoughts also slow down. When you are truly concentrated, when your breathing has subsided (only the minimum is left to support the body), then there are no thoughts. You have risen above thoughts. When you say OM out loud, you are actually saying A-U-M. The sound "A" causes vibrations at the base of the spine; the sound "U" - vibrations in the heart center or between the solar plexus and heart, depending on who you are; and the sound "M" causes vibrations in the head. When pronouncing “AUM”, all three vibrations are connected from the base of the spine to the top of the head. This is the power of AUM. The internal chanting of OM is not used to “ground” the energy, but simply to help transfer energy into the world. The OM mantra is used to bring attention to the mental level, from where the energy can then flow outward. If attention is focused lower, on the solar plexus, then the energy comes out at the level of emotions and desires, and our emotional thought forms will cloud the spiritual currents being conducted. If your attention wanders, say the mantra OM to yourself and it will return to the mental level.

About the mantra of the Great Invocation:

  • The Great Invocation is such a powerful mantra, and the field of possible errors in its pronunciation is so wide, that it can be pronounced completely correctly, half correctly or completely inappropriately. But all the same, the energies will be called upon, if only you apply with aspiration. It is necessary to put all your will into circulation. When reciting, focus your attention on the ajna center between the eyebrows. The striving of your will to unite with the Hierarchy will do the rest. The Great Invocation must be spoken out loud.

Transmission Meditation:

  1. Tell me, is trying to do transmission meditation alone almost as valuable? Can you really get the attention of the Masters? Will this work?
  2. It might work. If you cast the Great Summoning, the energies will flow. It is impossible to say what will happen, as in the group, because in this case there is no triangle. The triangle strengthens all energies and is more reliable. Much more energy can be channeled through a group of people forming triangles than through the same number of individuals.
  1. Is transmission meditation still important? (October 1994)
  2. Transmission meditation is always important. This is the most important service, of the highest power and scientific efficiency, which can be performed by disciples with a minimum expenditure of time and effort.
  1. When should the Great Invocation be said, at the beginning or at the end of meditation?
  2. It is pronounced at the beginning, for it is used to call upon energy. You attract energy and then conduct it. There are groups that use the Great Invocation at the end of meditation. It's not harmful, but it's useless.
  1. What prerequisites are necessary for the formation of a transmission group?
  2. First, there must be a desire to serve humanity, a simple, altruistic motive for service. This is not a place where they are looking for a personal Teacher, contact with the astral world, or some kind of “messages”. Here you simply need to give yourself to the service of humanity as an active mental channel through which the vibrational frequency of the energy sent by the Teachers can be lowered. Another condition concerns regularity and consistency of work. The group should meet every week in the same place at the same time. Teachers need to know that, for example, on Mondays at eight o’clock in the evening, at a certain place they can find a group of volunteers ready to conduct the energies of the Hierarchy. Then you say the Great Invocation with attention and concentration. Once you have done this, you have created a telepathic communication channel with the Hierarchy of Teachers. While making the Great Invocation, keep your attention on the ajna center between the eyebrows. This is the directing center. Keep your attention on this center during the Transmission without the slightest tension. It's very simple. Raise your point of concentration until it is on the line of your eyebrows. Throughout Transmission Meditation, keeping your attention at the point between your eyebrows provides mental focus for your awareness. Avoid negative emotions and lethargy and maintain a focused positive attitude. You will soon find that the energies themselves will maintain a high state of your attention. Time passes unnoticed; an hour can seem like several minutes. In fact, you will lose track of time. The main thing is to not be tense, physically and mentally. That's all you have to do. The rest of the work will be done by the Masters of Wisdom. It is not Their plan for you to transfer energies to any specific individual, group or country. Someone might, for example, think, “The situation in the Middle East is terrible,” and decide that they should direct their thoughts to that region during transmission. This should not be done. Only Teachers have scientifically based knowledge about what energies, what power and in what quantities are needed in each specific place at a particular moment in time. Once the group is organized, the Teachers know exactly who you are and where you are. They perceive your vibrations as clairvoyants. They then begin to send energies through the group. This is a highly scientific process. Teachers know what can be perceived by the group, what individual rays or types of energies form the group, what rays control the individuals within it - and work with energies is carried out in accordance with this. Some people can conduct one set of energies, others another. This is how Teachers pour out Their energies into the world.

It is possible that someone, after reading this material, will want to help people on our Planet using this method. As written above, you need a group of at least three people. Moreover, it is not necessary to gather in one room. You may be in one city, another person from your group may be in another, a third in a third. You just need to find two people who want to be in your group, and it doesn’t matter what city they live in, the main thing is the time of meditation.

So that those who wish could organize themselves, I created a VKontakte group "

Hello, dear readers – seekers of knowledge and truth!

All Buddhists on the planet know about the beginning of a new time, which will be associated with the coming of the saint. This is Maitreya Buddha. This is exactly what we want to tell you about today.

Our article will tell you who he is, how he is described in Buddhist literature and depicted in different forms of art: painting, sculpture. We will also find out when Maitreya will come, and what awaits humanity with his arrival.

Well, forward - towards new knowledge!

Who is Maitreya

Maitreya's name is translated in different ways:

  • invincible;
  • giver of love;
  • bestower of mercy,
  • compassionate lord;
  • future Teacher.

However, everyone agrees on one thing - this is the coming Teacher, he will appear in the future in the world of people, achieve Enlightenment and bring salvation to humanity. He will be a bodhisattva - a Buddha who will bring people a new teaching, give it a pure teaching and help everyone get out of the cycle of samsara with its constant rebirths and suffering.

Maitreya is the only Buddha who is recognized by all directions of Buddhist thought, including one in which there is practically no pantheon of Buddhas. He is especially revered by Korean, Chinese, and Burmese Buddhists.

Buddhist monks in Myanmar

In each country and in each direction it may have a special name:

  • in Japanese - Miroku;
  • in the Pali language - Metea;
  • in Chinese - Mile;
  • in Tibetan - Maidar;
  • in some interpretations - Maidari, Maitri.

But the name familiar to all Buddhists is Maitreya. This Buddha of the Future must come at the end of the current era - kalpa.

It is believed that he is now in Tushita Heaven, waiting for the right time to be saved. This is the place where the deities reside, it is one of the six heavens, the fourth from the bottom. Their name is translated as “gardens of joy” and they are located between the Heavens of Yama and the Heavens of Nirmanarati.

Tushita Heaven is inhabited by those who in a past life observed the main Buddhist precepts, adhered to the Middle Way, engaged in meditative practices and cultivated good thoughts and noble deeds. Here a new incarnation of the bodhisattva is found. Some Mahayana scriptures claim that it was here that he appeared before he incarnated in our world and became a great Teacher.

Mahayans believe that their line of Buddhist thought originated with the Coming Buddha. According to their beliefs, the founder Arya Asanga got rid of obscurations and more than once visited Tushita Heaven, where Maitreya told him the truth. Based on the teachings told by Maitreya, Asanga wrote down his five main sutras.

MantraMaitreyi sounds like this: “Om Buddha Maitri Mem Soha.”

What does Buddhist literature say about him?

The main sacred text about the Buddha of the Future is considered to be a sutra in Sanskrit called “Maitreyavyakarana”, which means “the prophecy of Maitreya”. According to the scripture, deities, people and everything in the world will follow Maitreya, follow his teachings and thereby get rid of attachments and doubts.

The coming Buddha will prove that nothing - neither property, nor wealth and jewelry, nor homes and even relatives - belongs to people. And this will save living beings from passions, giving them a joyful and happy life.

The Dikha Nikaya, which is included in the Tripitaka collection, calls Maitreya a follower of Shakyamuni. The same is said in the Lalita Vistara, which dates back to the 3rd-4th centuries AD. It says that before his incarnation in the human world, Gautama Buddha, while still in Tushita Heaven, pointed to Maitreya and placed a bodhisattva wreath on him.

The Mahaparinibbana Sutta mentions the Buddha of the Future, calling him Maitreya and Ajita, that is, “invincible.” The works of recent centuries, including those developed in Russia, are also devoted to him, for example, studies by N.K. Roerich, S.F. Oldenburg, E.P. Blavatsky.

When will he appear?

As we already know, the Buddha of the Future resides in Tushita Heaven, waiting for the moment when people are ready for his coming. But there is also an opinion that Maitreya may already appear where he is needed most. Moreover, he can be in several worlds at once.

Predictions about the coming of the Coming Buddha can be found in the first Mahayana sutras, as well as in the Maitreya Vyakaran. The sacred texts of Buddhism describe to what level humanity must reach before the coming of Maitreya:

  • Human life expectancy will be about 80 thousand years.
  • The world will be taken over by a Buddhist school, which will surpass the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni in the number of successors.
  • At the helm of humanity will be a wise Buddhist ruler;
  • Deaths from hunger, war, and disease will end.
  • Love and patience will reign among people.

In some texts one can find the estimated time of Maitreya's arrival. But these figures turn out to be disappointing - they claim that the Buddha of the Future will come no earlier than in 5 billion years.

Just before the coming, the oceans will become smaller in size so that the Coming Buddha can cross them. It will take Maitreya only a week to achieve enlightenment in this world due to past lives lived in truth. Then living beings will be able to comprehend pure dharma, which will create a new beautiful world.

How he is portrayed

In images and thangkas, the Buddha of the Future can be depicted in different poses. Sometimes he sits on some kind of elevation like a chair, sometimes he is depicted riding a white horse. But most often he takes the usual Buddhist pose: padmasana, the lotus pose, or lalitasana - a position in which the deity sits in a half lotus with his leg hanging down.

Maitreya is lavishly decorated with ornaments, including a crown on his head. His skin is radiant with a golden tint, and his clothes are the usual robes of a monk.

There are three-faced and four-armed images of Maitreya. In this case, he squeezes a sprig of saffron in his left hand, and with his right hand expresses the bestowal of good in the form of varada mudra. The other two palms are folded in the Dharmachakra Mudra, which symbolizes the expression of the Law of Dharma.

Maitreya is often depicted in statues, some of which date back to 350 BC. One of the most famous sculptures is located in China, namely in Leshan. It is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Carved into the rock, the statue is amazing in size:

  • total height – 70 meters;
  • head – 14 meters;
  • shoulders – 29 meters;
  • nose – 5 meters;
  • finger on hand - 8 meters;
  • toe – 1.5 meters.

Our compatriot, artist and researcher Nicholas Roerich made a great contribution to the study of Maitreya. In the 20s of the last century, he was on a Central Asian expedition, where he studied the cultural heritage of Buddhism and embodied them in painting.

There is a well-known series of paintings by Roerich, which is called “Maitreya”. The most famous of them is “Maitreya the Victorious”, now it is kept in the Moscow International Roerich Center-Museum. The remaining seven paintings are presented in the Nizhny Novgorod Art Museum.
