This video is about an Aussie, who is now claiming to be THE CHRIST. Its interesting to watch this guy, how easy going he is.. and how people get sucked right up into it so easily. He is even planning on starting his own community and having a compound. Its not hard to think about people like.. JIM JONES... David Koresh...Sun Myung Moon and Ryuho Okawa (Who calls himself the living Buddha).

3. Never heard of the guy

I just remembered the name "Maitreya." Back before DU, I used to treat my insomnia with listening to Art Bell. The dude kind of resembles Rupert from the Letterman show.

4. Maitreya

Maitreya (Sanskrit), Metteyya (Pāli), or Jampa (Tibetan), is foretold as a future Buddha of this world in Buddhist eschatology. In some Buddhist literature, such as the Amitabha Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, he or she is referred to as Ajita Bodhisattva.

Maitreya is a bodhisattva who in the Buddhist tradition is to appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma. According to scriptures, Maitreya will be a successor of the historic Śākyamuni Buddha. The prophecy of the arrival of Maitreya references a time when the Dharma will seem to be forgotten on Jambudvipa. It is found in the canonical literature of all Buddhist sects (Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Vajrayāna), and is accepted by most Buddhists as a statement about an event that will take place when the Dharma will seem to be forgotten on Earth.
