I share a lot of the ideals of the general statements, but is there an actual community, a place, followers, a founder/leader? Or is this rather like a network between like-minded people ? I came to France in 1981, and settled there after being initiated as a Knight of the Triumphant Vajra. The Center is the universal Aumist Monastery of Mandarom Shambhasalem, 1200 meters above sealevel in the Southeast of France, which over the years turned into the world headquarters of the Universal Religion of AUMISM (based on the holy sacred sound OM or AUM). In 1981 the tallest statue of the Buddha (Maitreya Buddha) of the Western world was built there (22meters high), in 1987 the statue of the Cosmic Christ of the same size, facing the Buddha ; in 1989 Temples of 3 other major world religions : the Temple of Jerusalem or Temple of Solomon rebuilt on a smaller scale (of which only the Wailing Wall remains in Jerusalem) for Judaism, the Hindu Temple of the Avatar Kalki, the Mosque of Unity of the Imam Mahdi, and in 1990 the Statue of the Cosmo-Planetary Messiah (33m. high) There are 22 Books of Teachings in French, one of which I have translated into English. We're looking for a publisher interested in an English-language publication. Check out our website : www.aumisme.org Let's keep in touch. I'll be in New York City (my native town, I have dual French and American citizenship) for Christmas and New Year, until January 8th.
