Prabhupāda: When I say Lord Buddha cheated, we don't mean it that Lord Buddha was a cheater like ordinary man. No. He had to accept some means to lead them to God worship. He is God. So all the Buddhists—I have seen in Japan, their temple is as good as Hindu temple. They have got Lord Buddha's statue. They offer lamps, and they sit down. They read Buddha philosophy. It is exactly Hindu temple.
Impersonalist: And what is predicted for this age?
Prabhupāda: This side is this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra—not only this side, all over the world. That is prediction of Lord Caitanya, "In every village, every town of the world, this Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra will be chanted." That is the beginning.
Impersonalist: What events are to occur in this age? What events will occur in this age, according to the prediction?
Prabhupāda: They are accepting. Wherever we go, they accept. If one is serious about understanding God, they will accept. If he is not serious—superficial—that is different thing.
Impersonalist: So this will become the next age. This is to take place in this age, or this is the transition between two ages?
Prabhupāda: This is the process. By chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra they will be God-realized. Just like these boys. Four years ago they did not know what is meant by Kṛṣṇa. So now they are so perfect. Of course, we cannot be perfect anyway, but they are far, far better than any kṛṣṇa-bhakta in the world. Even Indians, they say: "Oh, they are better than us." And what is the process? Simply they are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. This is practical.
