Maitreya Buddha Statue – Emblem of Loving-Kindness & the Age to Come

This Future Buddha Maitreya statue is a piece of handcrafted Buddhist art from Nepal, made by generationally trained Newari artisans using lost-wax method with pure copper. The statue is fire-gilded with triple layers of 24K gold for a lustrous finish, while hand-chased floral engravings and refined repoussé work give depth to the robe and lotus pedestal. Semi-precious stones are carefully inlaid across the halo, robe borders and lotus base, adding vibrant color against the gold. The sculpting shows balanced proportions and fully realized three-dimensional detail.

Maitreya Buddha is seated in Dharmachakra Mudra, the gesture of teaching, with a symbolic stupa crowning his head. His serene gold-painted face and half-closed eyes express the loving-kindness and hope of the age to come. Behind him, an ornate halo radiates with chased floral scrollwork, an inner ring of golden petals edged in coral inlay. A finely detailed Kasaya robe drapes over his form, resting above a richly layered lotus pedestal. An exceptional centerpiece for Dharma centers and Buddhist shrines, this Maitreya Buddha statue inspires devotional meditation and a deeper connection with the blessings of future awakening.

Please note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.

About Maitreya Buddha

Maitreya Buddha, honored as the “Future Buddha & Loving-Kindness Incarnate,” is a revered Bodhisattva in all major schools of Buddhism who embodies the boundless energy of Metta (loving-kindness). According to sacred tradition, Maitreya now resides in Tushita Heaven, completing the path to perfect enlightenment and patiently awaiting the destined time to appear on Earth as the next fully enlightened Buddha after Shakyamuni. Devotees invoke Maitreya’s gentle, uplifting blessings through the profound mantra "Om Maitri Mahamaitri Maitriye Svaha", recited to awaken loving-kindness within, accelerate spiritual progress, and create the causes to be reborn in Maitreya’s enlightened presence.
