In the midst of global economic and social crisis, the Christ has returned to the everyday world and brings real hope for us all--religious and non-religious alike.

For over 30 years author, lecturer and artist Benjamin Creme has been preparing the way for the emergence of Maitreya.

In 1988 CNN and many other media reported on Maitreya’s appearance to 6,000 people in Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday 11 June. A week before the event a remarkable sign occurred: “On Saturday 4 June a big, bright star was sighted, unusually brighter than ordinary stars,” reported Kenya Times editor Job Mutungi.

On 12 December 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. Sightings of the star are now being reported from Norway, South Africa, the United States, Dubai and Qatar. More and more sightings are now expected.

This mysterious event is a sign, and heralds the beginning of Maitreya’s open mission. 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.

Soon after the sign appears in our skies, Maitreya will give His first media interview on American television.
