Unexplained phenomena Ð Signs of MaitreyaÕs presence in the worldÑwhich many call miraclesÑare also manifest- ing on a regular basis. They include weeping and bleeding statues; Ôcrosses of lightÕ and springs of healing water; divine messages in the seed patterns of fruits and vegetables; bronze and stone sacred statues that appear to drink milk; and intricate Ôcrop circlesÕ impressed in grain fields.
