MAITREYA - ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS COMING?

Maitreya plays a major role in some people's life. I used to belong to a few
groups and Maitreya was one main topic that would come up on a regular basis.

Please share information on Maitreya.

Nice to see your reply.

I am surprised there appears to be no interest in this subject? Puzzling.

Here is some discussion on Maitreya. Riju has studied the Lotus Sutra for a very long time.

Scroll down a bit within the thread for the relevant parts.

Maitreya is the Buddha to come.

His coming, in many ways, mimics the return of the Christ.

John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I’m curious.

Do you wonder if Maitreya will be as Christ’s return has become. As a seed implanted in those streams of life who will realize themselves as the Christ/ Buddha themselves? The return being -the creation expanded into form as an evolved consciousness.

Not a singular expression through ‘one’ creation born, but the expanded creation from what Buddha awakened as ’oneness’.

He will be the one who will teach the pure dharma. He is the next Buddha.

I am new to Buddhism, so I don't know really anything about Maitreya. I am just trying to get my mind around Buddha's teachings.
