White Lotus (白蓮教 Pinyin: báiliánjiào Wade-Giles: Pai-lien chiao) is a type of Buddhist sectarianism that appealed to many Chinese, most notably to women and to the poor, who found solace in worship of the Eternal Mother 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.
