Gautama obtained the enlightenment of Buddhahood 25 centuries ago after going on a Path he had already followed in many previous lives. He culminated in his meditation of 49 days under the 'Bo-boom'. From then on, we speak of Gautama, the Buddha. He currently holds the office of 'Lord of the World'.His aura of love and wisdom, which animates the planet, stems from his extraordinary devotion to the Mother God (the feminine aspect of God). He is the hierarch of Shamballa, the original retreat residence of Sanat Kumara in the ethereal region above the Gobi Desert in China.
On New Year's Eve 1976, Gautama gave a dictation through the messenger Elizabeth Prophet in which he prophesied that the force field of his retreat Shamballa would be connected like an arc to the "Inner Retreat" located near the Rocky Mountains in Montana, America, as the place where the "Three Jewels" would� be anchored.
These "jewels" are the Buddha, the Sangha and the Dharma. The Sangha is a community of spiritual men and women who live according to the Dharma. Dharma means: the Teachings of the Ascended Masters (including the Buddha). Besides the famous Gautama Buddha, there are many other Buddhas who are revered, such as Lord Maitreya, the five Dhyani Buddhas and Manjushri. The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit word 'Budh' = to awaken, to know and to see keenly. Buddha means the "Enlightened One. Buddhahood designates an office within the spiritual hierarchy of the worlds, which is obtained after completing certain tests.
