Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, who will come to Earth, become enlightened, and teach the way to freedom when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are forgotten. Maitreya’s name means “the kindly one” or “the loving one”. Maitreya is shown sitting happily, with a peaceful and loving face, representing his role as a kind teacher and helper. Maitreya will come when the world is corrupt and the true teachings of the Buddha are forgotten. He will return as a teacher to guide people back to the Dharma and bring enlightenment. Some believe Maitreya watches over humanity, waiting for the right time to share his teachings. Maitreya, the Buddha of kindness, shows us that even in tough times, a peaceful, bright future is ahead. Embrace his light today and let his blessings lead you to a brighter tomorrow.
