Female Messiah? What Church tried to erase
The Gospel of Mary, attributed to Mary Magdalene, offers a unique perspective on salvation through self-knowledge and inner exploration. Contrary to traditional Christian teachings, this ancient text challenges the concept of sin, framing it as an illusion tied to the physical body. It reveals a vision of spiritual authority where wisdom is accessible beyond institutional limits. Rooted in Gnosticism, this work highlights the diverse landscape of early Christianity, advocating for a personal connection with the divine.
Is there a Buddhist Messiah? Is it Maitreya?

But the question really comes down a savior figure, a reviver of the Dharma, a future buddha like Maitreya. Can it be a woman?

So many females and males take bodhisattva vows with the stated goal of delaying their own liberation (nirvana) to save all other sentient beings, as messiahs are won't to do. It may be a useful mindset if not an achievable goal.

Is the Blessed Virgin Mary Chinese Guanyin?

| Virgin/Guanyin in Chinese dress (researchgate.net) |
...[The] most usual and popular representation of this Goddess is a beautiful and gracious woman, who holds a child in her arms [Maya and Siddhartha rather than Mary and Jesus] and wears a rosary [mala] around her neck. This iconography has been reused in order to paint the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary at a point where it is hard sometimes to distinguish between the two figures (Figures 3a and 3b).
My point is not that Catholic people consider the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Christian reference of Guanyin [Kwan Yin, the Mahayana Buddhist "Goddess of Compassion"], but I want to stress that, when honoring the "new" supernatural figure, Taiwanese Catholics still maintain the forms they learned through their involvement in popular religious practices from an early age, which are linked to the cultural system they inhabit.
