Synopsis Part 8B: Maitreya Project Overview
A 750 acre sacred park is being built in Uttar Pradesh, the Buddhist equivalent of Islam’s Mecca where over six and half million Buddhists and seekers will make a religious pilgrimage annually. Various tantric symbols are briefly introduced that are being displayed in the Buddhist Blood and Relic Tour being hosted around the globe to raise money for the building of the Maitreya Project, the Buddhist Messiah seated on the Lion Throne.
Synopsis Part B: Holy Relics or Spiritual Leaven?
Cremation, a Buddhist practice, creates crystallized blood drops that the Buddhists worship as holy relics. Even a Catholic priest confessed that he’d worship the relics of any holy person. His statement underscores a quote from a Tibetan Buddhist scholar who speaks about the doctrine of assimilation and how Tibetan Buddhism will assimilate Judaeo-Christian spiritual forms such as Catholic monastic forms much as Buddhism assimilated indigenous religious forms in China, Tibet, and Japan. Buddhist terminology and practices are being systematically introduced as a type of spiritual leaven, such as karma, nirvana, yoga and cremation. Being forewarned is being forearmed. Belief behaves. Knowledge without obedience will only fuel judgment. Idols are but the work of man’s hands.
