Creme asserted that the Second Coming, prophesied by many religions, would come in the form of Maitreya, the World Teacher.[1] 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.[1] Creme maintained that Maitreya had returned in a physical form, descended from the Himalayas, and then moved to London on 19 July 1977.[3]
