He will lead you along the path of the supreme wisdom that will transform not only your life, but also the whole world. In 1997, on the statue of Buddha in South Korea, for the first time in 3,000 years, a sacred flower blossomed -- the udumbara, which is now noticed all over the world. According to Buddhist scriptures, it heralds the approaching Advent of the Greatest Teacher Maitreya, the Lord of the legendary kingdom of Shambhala hidden in the Himalayas. He is the Messiah of all times and peoples. Leaves of Maitreya's Garden: The Call of the Heart is the first book of the long-awaited Dharma of Maitreya -- The Teaching of the Heart. The Lord of Love and Compassion gives everyone a chance to become a warrior of Shambhala, so that, as it was predicted, darkness will finally be overthrown and the Golden Age on the Earth established. Written in the form of the Teacher's conversations with the reader, the book consists of amazingly simple and wise advice, which will help every seeker of truth significantly accelerate their spiritual development. The Teaching of the Heart is the timeless Ethics of Love for the whole world. It consists of a series of books that cover a wide range of topics from everyday life to travels within the Universe, enriching the treasury of the ancient wisdom with pearls of new knowledge. The Teaching of the Heart is the result of the spiritual cooperation of the Lord of Shambhala, Maitreya, with Zinovia Dushkova, Ph.D., during 1997-1998. However, it was not received through mediumship or channeling, but was a result of the fiery experience, just as all known sacred scriptures.

In many respects, this book is considered to be the best guide ever written on Homeric religion. The analysis by W. F. Otto, while being very careful in terms of interpretation, denotes an open consonance of the author with the spirit - sometimes brutal and, for our mentality, immoral - of Greek polytheism. A thrilling and amazing journey to Olympus. This is a new edition of the Pantheon Books (New York) 1952 publication.
