In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; Holy Mary Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  AMEN.

I, William Francis Junker, I dreamt, I hallucinated, call it what you will. This was my

VISION:

I saw Buddha, lying on his back.  The vision was truly the figure, the unmistaken

figure of the Buddha lying on his back.  I saw him in my mind’s eye, lying there. I felt

the presence of other witnesses, silent, watchful. There were billions upon billions of

gossamer layers of film covering the Buddha body, yet the layers were so thin that there

was no mistaking the shape of the Buddha. The ground, dark and wet, allowed a thick

vaporous fog around the statue-like Buddha, eerie and ethereal.  There was no sound,

I was as one deaf, what I heard seemed to come from inside my head.

I, William Francis Junker, heard, I know not from where, the chant of voices in my

ears, it was the roar of millions upon millions chanting:  “What is now and ever shall

be, world without end, AMEN.”  I felt the presence of John Lennon and there were

others I knew not, silent and present.  Every time I, we, heard the phrase well up in the

chanting, one thin gossamer layer would lift up from the Buddha, its shape preserved..

As each thin layer floated up, the Buddha became more distinct in its features.  Let

there be no doubt, the figure I saw was the Buddha.

I came to know and this I believe: the layers of gossamer are the sins of the world.  As

more and more people are turned and believe in God, civilization is brought

closer to a more perfect existence.  

Joy and happiness filled me.
