I-kuan Tao
I-kuan Tao (Way of Pervading Unity). A Chinese Buddhist-Taoist society, an offshoot of the White Lotus Sect, founded by Wang Chüeh-i in the early 20th cent. Its main doctrine is eschatological-messianic: Bodhisattva Maitreya, at the command of Mother of Nobirth (Wu-sheng Lao-mu), the creator-deity, will appear to the world imminently, at the end of the third and last kalpa to save its members and all other human beings.
