The Melchizedek Teachings in the Orient
The early teachers of the Salem religion penetrated to the remotest tribes of Africa and Eurasia, ever preaching Machiventa's gospel of man's faith and trust in the one universal God as the only price of obtaining divine favor. Melchizedek's covenant with Abraham was the pattern for all the early propaganda that went out from Salem and other centers. Earth has never had more enthusiastic and aggressive missionaries of any religion than these noble men and women who carried the teachings of Melchizedek over the entire Eastern Hemisphere. These missionaries were recruited from many peoples and races, and they largely spread their teachings through the medium of native converts. They established training centers in different parts of the world where they taught the natives the Salem religion and then commissioned these pupils to function as teachers among their own people. --Presented by a Melchizedek of Nebadon, from the Urantia Papers.

The Buddhist Faith To become a Buddhist, one merely made public profession of the faith by reciting the Refuge: "I take my refuge in the Buddha; I take my refuge in the Doctrine; I take my refuge in the Brotherhood." The Spread of Buddhism Buddhism prospered because it offered salvation through belief in the Buddha, the enlightened one. Religion in Tibet In Tibet may be found the strangest association of the Melchizedek teachings combined with Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Christianity. Buddhist Philosophy The great advance made in Buddhist philosophy consisted in its comprehension of the relativity of all truth. The God Concept of Buddhism Gradually the concept of God, as contrasted with the Absolute, began to appear in Buddhism. Return from The Melchizedek Teachings in the Orient to Home
