Maitreya does not intend to build a new religion around himself, nor to create followers, but to teach humanity "the art of Self-realization." The first steps are "honesty of mind, sincerity of spirit, and detachment."

Maitreya's social concerns are reflected in his list of priorities: an adequate supply of the right food, adequate housing for all, healthcare and education as universal rights. His social message can be summarized in a few words: "Share and save the world." Maitreya knows we will accept his message and that we are on the threshold of an era of peace and goodwill.
