Benjamin Creme
Overview
Benjamin Creme (5 December 1922 − 24 October 2016) was a Scottish artist, esoteric writer, and editor of Share International magazine.
Creme asserted that the Second Coming, prophesied by many religions, would come in the form of Maitreya, the World Teacher. Maitreya is the name Buddhists use for the future Buddha, but Creme believed that Maitreya is the teacher that all religions point towards and hope for. Creme maintained that Maitreya had returned in a physical form, descended from the Himalayas, and then moved to London on 19 July 1977.
