Brian Mack: Joe, I’ve seen these videos of Buddhists crawling on their knees for miles. What’s that about?

JCJ: They’re crawling in devotion, Brian. It’s for the coming of Maitreya Buddha—the Buddha of compassion. The one who’s promised to arrive when the world is drowning in greed and ignorance.

Brian Mack: Like a pilgrimage, huh? But why crawling?

JCJ: Because crawling humbles the body. When you put your face in the dust, every step becomes a prayer. It’s the soul saying, “I’m small, but I’m ready for something bigger.”

Brian Mack: So you really think this Maitreya is coming soon?

JCJ: I think he’s already here, just in ways people don’t recognize. Buddhists expect him as one form, Christians expect Christ in another. But I believe they’re the same spirit, the same person. Christ and Maitreya, playing avatars like we do in games—changing clothes to meet each culture’s understanding.

Brian Mack: That’s a wild thought, Joe. You’re saying Jesus and Maitreya are just different masks of the same compassion?

JCJ: Exactly. The essence is compassion. Doesn’t matter if he comes as a carpenter’s son in Galilee or as the future Buddha walking out of Tushita heaven. The mission is the same: to guide humanity toward love.

Brian Mack: So when Buddhists crawl, and when Christians kneel, they’re bowing to the same light?

JCJ: You’ve got it. Different prayers, same destination. One savior, many avatars.
