The New American, in its April 3, 1995 issue, carried an article entitled One World Worship. The article related that the December 1994 issue of Share International reported that "Maitreya and his associates are rapidly constructing `the One Church and the New World Religion [which] will gradually emerge as a mutual tie to unite men with closer bonds.'"

The article continues with a quote from Creme declaring that "very soon now, a most unusual event will allow the world to know that the Masters do, indeed exist . . . When men see Maitreya, they will know that the time has come to choose; to go forward with Him into a future dazzling in its promise - or to cease to be."

Shoko Asahara has brought to light once again the name of Maitreya.  I hope that in the end, we will not wish that Asahara was truly who he claimed to be. Because the one who Creme believes to be Maitreya Buddha will certainly be more than a religious terrorist seeking notoriety.
