Greetings everybody. My name is Rob, (my other profile is Here. Feel free to add me.) and I recently had the amazingly great fortune of being a part of the hosting committee for The Maitreya Project Heart Shrine Relic Tour in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Prior to the weekend of the Relic Tour, I started this "Myspace" profile in the hopes that others from the area would see this and come to see the Relics. Since the tour ended, I felt inspired to keep the profile open and to try and promote the Maitreya Project in general. It is a highly worthy cause and will be a major symbol for world peace. Please note that I am not an official representative of The Maitreya Project. I am just trying to do my part to get the word out. I highly recommend attending the Relics exhibit if it is coming to a venue near you, or you may even consider forming a committee to host the Relics in your city/town/village/hamlet etc. For more info on the Project, please go to Maitreya Project Website . OM MANI PADME HUM.

A Message of Loving-kindness and Peace
We are living in very uncertain times. Humanity and all living things are constantly under threat and there is an urgent need to create the causes for harmony throughout the world.
All of the world's major religions and humanitarian traditions teach the ethical values of tolerance, patience, loving-kindness and compassion.
As these universal values are embraced and take root in the minds and hearts of more and more people, world peace will become an attainable dream.
"The goal of the Maitreya Project is to bring the greatest possible benefit to as many as possible, for as long as possible. As its focus, Maitreya Project is building a magnificent 500ft / 152m bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha. Constructing the statue - because the essence of Maitreya Buddha is loving-kindness and peace - will provide a symbol to bless and transform the mind and heart of everyone in the world. The statue will be located at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, in northern India close to the place of the historical Buddha's passing away. It will be constructed as a Buddhist cathedral for the public and will be designed to last at least 1,000 years so it can act as a catalyst for peace for a full millennium."
To create the greatest possible benefit, Maitreya Project will put loving-kindness into action by combining public spiritual, medical and educational facilities. Indirectly, these will catalyse other economic, social and civic benefits. Countless people will be inspired and blessed by Maitreya Project's activities.
