World Buddhism
Now, the Final Buddha
Vishnu is eternal, beyond human history, beyond Hinduism, beyond Buddhism.
His 9th avatar, now Maitreya, the Final Buddha, returns to Vishnu and in doing so eliminates disunity and helps to avert a greater dissolution of our entire universe.
Maitreya Buddha
"World Buddhism (500+ million) will install the next Dalai Lama in Tibet, not India."
"The Tibetan Buddhist exile government and resulting disunity will come to an end."

The following passages are from Wikipedia.
In Majjhima Nikaya 92, the Buddha refers to the Sāvitri (Pali: sāvittī) mantra as the foremost meter, in the same sense as the king is foremost among humans, or the sun is foremost among lights:
aggihuttamukhā yaññā sāvittī chandaso mukham; Rājā mukhaṃ manussānaṃ, nadīnaṃ sāgaro mukhaṃ. Nakkhattānaṃ mukhaṃ cando, ādicco tapataṃ mukhaṃ; Puññaṃ ākaṅkhamānānaṃ, saṅgho ve yajataṃ mukhan.
The foremost of sacrifices is offering to the sacred flame; the Sāvittī is the foremost of poetic meters; of humans, the king is the foremost; the ocean’s the foremost of rivers; the foremost of stars is the moon; the sun is the foremost of lights; for those who sacrifice seeking merit, the Saṅgha is the foremost.
In Sutta Nipata 3.4, the Buddha uses the Sāvitri mantra as a paradigmatic indicator of Brahmanic knowledge:
Brāhmaṇo hi ce tvaṃ brūsi, Mañca brūsi abrāhmaṇaṃ; Taṃ taṃ sāvittiṃ pucchāmi, Tipadaṃ catuvīsatakkharaṃ
If you say you brahmin are, but call me none, then of you I ask the chant of Sāvitrī, consisting of three lines in four and twenty syllables. -- Wikipedia
