7. Sacred or Revered Texts: Aum Shinrikyo has no specific sacred text. Asahara has published a number of works, and most are drawn from his sermons. His works contain a mixture of Buddhist, Hindu, and Taoist ideas, and as 1995 approached, his sermons and publications had a stronger Apocolyptic focus drawn from Christian thought, specifically Revelation.
8. Cult or Sect:
Negative sentiments are typically implied when the concepts "cult" and "sect" are employed in popular discourse. Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes. For a more detailed discussion of both scholarly and popular usage of the concepts "cult" and "sect," please visit our Conceptualizing "Cult" and "Sect" page, where you will find ad***ional links to related issues.
9. Size of Group: There is presently much speculation about the group rebuilding but current figures include 500 fulltime devotees as opposed to the 1,100 members during the time of the gassings. As of May 1998, when the new Tokyo Center was completed, there are now twenty-six centers nationwide.
10. Remarks: A series of legal reactions followed the gassings in 1995, and cases are far from over as of December 1998. The following are only some of the legal events. Between March 22 and May 16, 1995, 200 Aum members were arrested. After weeks of searching, Asahara was found hiding in a secret room in Kamikuishiki, the village where the group''s main facility was located . He had in his possession a "considerable" amount of cash and gold bars. Also recovered were several comatose followers, found to be under the influence of such drugs as pentobarital (anesthetic which can cause convulsions, mental instability, and even death)
Asahara and 104 followers have been indicted on various charges. Asahara himself has been indicted for:
* murder in relation to the Tokyo sarin gas attack on March 20, 1995 (twelve dead and 5,500 injured);
* Murder in relation to Matsumoto Nagano Prefecture sarin gas attack in June 1994 (seven killed and 600 injured);
* kidnapping and murder of Tsutsumi Sakamoto (Lawyer representing Aum member parents) and his wife and infant son;
* kidnapping and death of Kiyoshi Kariya (Tokyo notary public) in February 1995;
* lynching of Kotata Ochida ("''uncooperative''" Aum member) in February 1994; and
* illegal production of various drugs
Though Asahara maintains his innocence, many followers have confessed their involvement in these crimes and have claimed they acted under Asahara''s direct orders
The first attacks targeted wavering members, or those about to leave the group. Police reported thirty-three Aum followers are believed to have been killed between October 1988 and March 1995. Further police speculation includes several lynchings, eight deaths from intense ascetic training, two suicides, and twenty-one missing people who are presumed dead . Russia''s involvement with Aum Shinrikyo has not yet been fully researched

Under the leadership of Fumihiro Joyu, Aum Shinrikyo is now seeking to regroup and rebuild. In an effort to change its image, Aum, has changed its name to Aleph, which means to start anew (Sims: 2000).
It is not clear just how much distance the renewed Aleph has placed between itself and Shoko Asahara. They have not renounced the founding leader Asahara. In an interview with the New York Times Joyu stated "Just like you wouldn''t stop your connection with physical fathers and mothers who commit a crime, we will not sever our connection with our spiritual father." Still, Joyu says that profits from their business activities will be used to compensate victims for prior wrongdoings of the sect.
Joyu also claims the reorganization will lead to a more democratic group and that the Japanese no longer have reason to fear the group. In the meantime, according to Sims, "Aum''s every move is being monitored by authorities under a new law passed last year that allows the police and Justice Ministry officials to enter sect facilities at will to conduct inspections."

II. Beliefs of the Group
Aum Shinrikyo offers liberation from suffering and illness, and Mullins states "Aum can best be viewed as an eclectic Buddhist movement that draws on various Asian tra***ions, such as yoga and Tibetan Buddhism" . Full of Hindu motifs and practices, the primary diety in Aum is Shiva, the god of destruction. This diety embodies Aum''s main focus, the creation and destruction of the universe. The Buddhist ideas incorporated include transmigration and rebirth, the world of suffering, and the goal of better rebirths and enlightenment through me***ation . Asahara borrows the idea of the bardo, a Tibetan concept that defines a 49-day transmigration period after death . Asahara''s interest in the Book of Revelation and Prophecy of Nostradamus is reflected in his predictions for 1999. He intially taught that members must work to transfer evil energy into positive energy and avoid mass destruction via nuclear war. To be specific, 30,000 had to achieve liberation through Asahara''s teachings to save the world from such a fate. His theory of prevention shifted dramatically, and by 1990 he focused on mere survival This is where he proclaims this importance of nuclear shelters and other such preparations. His goal, through what he called the "Lotus Village Plan," was for small communes to be self-sufficient and able to rebuild civilization
Richard Young, through his connections with a young member, was able to attend a sermon in the early 1990''s. During these years Aum Shinrikyo was already under great scrutiny within Japanese society. He breaks the sermon down into three main parts: "the problem," "the ideal," and "the way." The problem, he says, was that "[Asahara] became so obsessed with what was wrong with Japan that he lost confidence even in the power of Buddhism" His early focus on the decay of spirituality and denounced materialism faded into the background and Aum''s leader failed to grasp the ethical fundamentals of Buddhism. Next, the "ideal" world for which members strived was vaguely explained and "disconcertingly mundane. "By following his prophecies, Japan would become a national community and the world would be in as
