42. MAITREYA

Maithreya is a Muni according to
Bhagavatha Version  (See Purva Gatha
Lahari (ML 355) But in Secret Doctrine
Vol. I page 384 Madam Blavatsky wrote
like  this  "Mithreya  is  the  secret
name of Fifth Buddha".   In the same
book Vol. I page 70 it is mentioned as
"He will appear as Maithreya Budhha,
the   last   of   the  Avatharas   and
Buddhas,  in  the Seventh race".  MTA
might have mentioned this reference
in his lecture.

In  those  far  off  times  you vill
say, that Lord Gouthama who ruled the
world of religion and education, but
now he has yielded, that high office
to the Lord Maithreya,  whom western
people call other vise.  ML 317
