The Maitreya

The Wisconsin countryside here is lush and green. A very large man dressed in worn work clothes and scuffed hiking boots whom many will think is the Maitreya, the last incarnation of the Buddha from the West, stands in front of an enormous circular building that at first appearance looks to be a sporting arena or a cathedral. It is in fact an unusual monastery that houses a group of teachers, a dangerous quartet called the Masters of Revels, workers, monks engaged in researches and practices that portend radical changes of the symbols of transformation that might save or destroy the world. The tramp decides to join this community at the risk of his sanity and life, but in which he will help to take the path of this subversive place. He barely survives his various ordeals and leaves the ABC Center to make mischief in the wreckage of the America of his time. In the distant present-future occurs a gigantic battle led by him where many issues between warring monist and dualistic philosophies will finally be settled.
