Aumism is a minor religious sect founded in 1969 by Gilbert Bourdin. Centered on the "holy city" of Mandarom, near Castellane in the French Alps, it has approximately 400 members, down from 1200 at its peak. It is a synthesis of a number of religions, notably buddhism. Widely considered to be a UFO cult.
