This traditional course was documented in the mid 1980's once we neared the end of the second Christian Millennium; many prophetic voices were being increased to speak of revelation and other apocalyptic visions. Some western mystics even mentioned the future Buddha, Maitreya, regarding the a coming back Christ or Christ impulse. What do the Buddhists, themselves, say about the end of the world as we realize it? What is Buddhist apocalyptic? This workshop examines these questions with full rigor. Robert Thurman talks about the prophecy by Guatama Buddha and we can probe into details that predict when Maitreya will come. Thurman analyzes the teachings into the future Buddha, presently a bodhisattva residing in the Tushita heaven, who will descend to globe to preach anew the dharma.
