FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 23, 2009 Bright star heralds the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher For over 30 years author, lecturer and artist Benjamin Creme has been preparing the way for the emergence of Maitreya the World Teacher. On December 12, 2008, Share International distributed a news release announcing that in the very near future a large, bright star will appear in the sky visible throughout the world, night and day. Around a week later Maitreya will give his first interview on a major US television program. Since early January 2009, sightings of the star have been reported from Norway, South Africa, the United States, Dubai and Qatar. More and more sightings are now expected. Reports have already appeared in Norwegian newspapers. A new article by Benjamin Creme’s Master, who is based in the Himalayas, reveals how close we are to witnessing this sign and the historic events which will follow. Maitreya’s first interview will lead to further and more frequent interviews in the USA, Japan and other countries. Maitreya’s first interview In the very near future, people everywhere will have the opportunity to witness an extraordinary and significant sign, the like of which has been manifested only once before, at the birth of Jesus. Then, according to Christian teaching, a star appeared in the heavens and led three wise men from the East to the birthplace of Jesus. Soon, once again, a star-like luminary of brilliant power will be seen around the world. What does this mean? How is it possible? The answer lies in the fact that this mysterious event is a sign, and heralds the beginning of Maitreya’s open mission. Soon after the sign appears in our skies, Maitreya will give his first media interview on American television. P.O. Box 971 ~~~~~ INTERNATIONALAmsterdam • London • Barcelona • Los Angeles • Tokyo On that open, public occasion, still unannounced as Maitreya, the World Teacher will present his views on the economic and financial chaos which now grips the world. He will explain its origins and final outcome, and present, to some extent, his recipe for amelioration of the present heavy burden on the poor of the world. Thus he will prepare the way for a more detailed and specific announcement of his ideas. How will viewers respond? They will not know his background or status. Will they listen to and consider his words? It is too soon to know exactly, but the following may be said: never before will they have seen or heard Maitreya speak. Nor, while listening, will they have experienced his unique energy, heart to heart. Also, this is a unique time in history with whole nations stunned and apprehensive for the future. Therefore it can be assumed that many who hear his words will be open and eager to hear more. It is not for nothing that Maitreya has waited patiently for this moment to enter the public world; America, for one, would not have responded sooner. Now, for the first time in many years, a new Administration has to cope with financial chaos, unemployment and social unrest on a massive scale. The moment of truth for America and the world has arrived. Not alone in America but worldwide, people are awakening to the need for and the possibility of change. The politicians and economists call the present situation a ‘downturn’ and a ‘recession’. In truth, we are witnessing the last stumbling steps of the old order. Millions are becoming aware that unbridled competition and greed are not the safest path for men, that such materialistic doctrines create a ‘slippery slope’ for the unwary, and, eventually, the international crisis we have today. Of course, many people of burgeoning wealth stand clear of the present loss of confidence in the ways which have made them rich, and think it only ‘a matter of time’ until we are back on course and thriving again. Will they heed Maitreya and recognize the sense of his argument? Lost in their arrogance and selfesteem, possibly not. However, many are less sanguine about a return to the status quo. Many have suffered painful losses and have lost faith in the old methods. The peoples of the nations are ripe and ready for change. They call out for change and a more meaningful life. Maitreya will remind men of the essentials without which there is no future for man: Justice and Peace. And the only way to both is through sharing. (From: Share International magazine, January/February 2009) # # # Background Information For more than 30 years, author and lecturer Benjamin Creme has been preparing the way for the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and his group, the Masters of Wisdom, into the everyday world. Trained and supervised over many years by one of the Masters with whom he is in constant contact, Mr. Creme has access to up-to-date information on Maitreya’s emergence, giving him the total conviction needed to present this story to a skeptical world. Creme regularly lectures worldwide, and appears on radio and television in North America, Europe and Japan. He is author of 14 books—translated into numerous languages—and editor of Share International magazine, which is read in over 70 countries. Each issue of Share International includes an article by the Master with whom Mr. Creme is associated. Maitreya himself—a modern man concerned with today’s problems—has been living in the Asian community of London since July 19, 1977, and working behind the scenes for the benefit of humanity. The outpouring of his extraordinary energy has been the stimulus for dramatic developments on many fronts: the ending of the cold war; the breakup of the Soviet Union; the unification of Germany; the ending of apartheid in South Africa; the growing demands of the people for freedom and justice; and the worldwide focus on preserving the environment. Outwardly, Maitreya has met with influential leaders from all fields, informing them of his solutions to our most pressing problems. His message can be summarized as: “Share and save the world.” He has not come to found a new religion, but as an educator in the broadest sense. He will seek to inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and to create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation. According to Benjamin Creme, we do not have long to wait to see him. Soon, Maitreya will be interviewed on a major US television network and his open mission will begin.
