In buddhism just like in Jewish faith there is concept of Maitreya which by description pretty well fits the anti-christ we know will come and whom we Christians should despise as a liar and devil. Its amazing that all religions besides Christianity are waiting for some kind of Messiah, where the True Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ was already here on earth and was sacrificed and spilled his most holy blood for redepmtion of our sins so we who have believe in him to have live through him.
Maitreya – Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaMaitreya (Sanskrit), Metteyya (Pali), Maitri (Sinhalese), Jampa (Wylie: byams pa) or Di-lặc (Vietnamese), is regarded as a future Buddha of this world in Buddhist eschatology. In some Buddhist literature, such as the Amitabha Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, he is referred to as Ajita.
Characteristics
One mention of the prophecy of Maitreya is in the Maitreyavyākaraṇa. It implies that he is a teacher of meditative trance sādhanā and states that gods, men and other beings:
will lose their doubts, and the torrents of their cravings will be cut off: free from all misery they will manage to cross the ocean of becoming; and, as a result of Maitreya’s teachings, they will lead a holy life. No longer will they regard anything as their own, they will have no possession, no gold or silver, no home, no relatives! But they will lead the holy life of oneness under Maitreya’s guidance. They will have torn the net of the passions, they will manage to enter into trances, and theirs will be an abundance of joy and happiness, for they will lead a holy life under Maitreya’s guidance.
There is stunning similaritie of time when Maitreya (the anti-christ) comes and the communist ideals for no possession of everything and communist leftist regime ultimate goals.
