Maitreya has also become active in The Netherlands informing motorists of the imminent appearance of the Christ, by hitching lifts.
In Christian circles, similar stories to those in New Zealand are doing the rounds (see the January/February issue of Share International). The reports have attracted the attention of radio and television media and police stated that they would be interested in any more information from the public.
The Dutch Christian daily newspaper Trouw also ran an article about the phenomenon from which we quote the following: "A member of the Dutch Reformed Church heard the story at his bible class: a motorist picks up a hitchhiker along the motorway.
A conversation develops on spiritual matters and the subject of the future Kingdom of God crops up. The hitchhiker then announces that Jesus will appear again soon and disappears in the same way as at the supper at Emmaus.
The motorist is so shaken by the experience that he parks his car on the hard shoulder to recover from the shock. Here he is approached by some traffic policemen to whom he tells the story. They reply, 'You are the eighth motorist who has told us this'."
