The Prophecy concerning the coming
of Maitreya the Christ from Shabuhragan
"All the gods and righteous ones will then stand
up within the heavens, and a great call will resound and will be heard
in the whole world. And those gods who, in the cosmos of heavens and earths,
are lords of the house, lords of the village, lords of the tribe, lords
of the land, lords of the watchposts (border guards) and vanquishers of
the demons will all bless Buddha Maitreya. And the men who are rulers in
the world will quickly go to him and pay homage to him and accept his commands.
And lustful, wicked and tyrannous men will repent. Then Buddha Maitreya
will send messengers to the East and West. They will go and lead the righteous
ones together with their helpers, as well as the wicked ones, together
with their accomplices, before Budha Maitreya, and they will pay him homage.
And the righteous ones will say to him, "Our
Lord, Buddha Maitreya the Christ, if it please you, we shall tell you something
about what these sinners have done to us." And Buddha Maitreya will answer
them, "Look upon me and rejoice. But whoever may have harmed you, I shall
bring him to justice for your sake, and I will demand his conviction. But
everything which you wish to tell me, I already know."
