The Maitreya Bodhisattva is the fore-runner of the etheric Christ. When he advances to Buddha, at about the year 4400, then he will be able to speak goodness (will) where we are only now able to speak thoughts. Rudolf Steiner also indicated that this Bodhisattva was in incarnation at that time and that it was not him. It was Beinsa Douno (also known as Peter Deunov), a Bulgarian spiritual teacher and founder of The Universal White Brotherhood. He gave approximately 3700 lectures in the three decades between 1914 and 1944, all imbued with esoteric Christianity.
"Rudolf Steiner emphasizes that the name Maitreya means the one who brings the Good through the Word." (GA130, 18.11.1911)
"Rudolf Steiner spoke the remarkable words: And if there would be for him [the Maitreya] a John the Evangelist, he would have to speak differently than John the Evangelist spoke of the Christ. Then it was said: "And the Word became Flesh"; the Evangelist John of the Maitreya Buddha would have to say: "And the Flesh became Word."" (GA130, 21.09.1911)
"Rudolf Steiner said: Now in the 20th Century, from this Bodhisattva come the most substantial teachings about the Christ Being and about the Sons of Fire... the Maitreya Bodhisattva is incorporated now as well and will be the actual herald of Christ in etheric raiment." (GA 130, 01.10.1911)
"Ita Wegman, as reported in Zeylmans van Emmichoven's biography, knew Rudolf Steiner's statement that Bulgaria has "its own spiritual teacher."
"... Pasha Todonova, one of the short-hand taking sisters, working on recording the Word of the Master Peter Deunov, she asked him: 'You, Master, do you know Rudolf Steiner?' The Master responded: 'Of course, I know him.' 'Master, have you seen him here on Earth?' The Master replied: 'Not here on Earth; above in the Heavens, this is where we know each other from.'"
