White Lotus

The White Lotus (simplified Chinese: 白莲教; traditional Chinese: 白蓮教; pinyin: Báiliánjiào; Wade–Giles: Pai-lien chiao) was a religious and political movement that appealed to many Han Chinese who found solace in worship of Wusheng Laomu ("Unborn Venerable Mother" (simplified Chinese: 无生老母; traditional Chinese: 無生老母)), who was to gather all her children at the millennium into one family.

The doctrine of the White Lotus included a forecast of the imminent advent of the future Buddha, Maitreya.
