In every age, or in times of exceptional crisis, great spiritual teachers have come forth to show humanity its next evolutionary step. And so it is with great pleasure that we share with you information about the Emergence of Maitreya—the World Teacher for all humanity. We believe that, in time, Maitreya will be seen as fulfilling the expectations of the world’s traditions, religious or non-religious, for a “Coming One”—whether as Christ, Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, or the Imam Mahdi. At this time of great political, economic, and social crisis, Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, peace and global cooperation. The work of Share International has been to create the climate of hope and expectancy for Maitreya’s emergence. Now that His open mission has begun, having given several television interviews, Share International will provide background and report updates to this historic event as it unfolds. Millions throughout the world now anticipate Maitreya’s return and, as His call for Sharing, Justice and Peace nourishes their hopes, eagerly await the experience of Love on Declaration Day. It will be a day like no other.
