Maitreya Buddha Statue from Nepal | Gold Fire-Gilded & Silver-Plated Copper Sculpture

This Maitreya Buddha Statue portrays the prophesied Future Buddha of this world, the compassionate bodhisattva destined to descend to earth. Enthroned in relaxed royal ease with both feet resting upon lotus pedestals, Maitreya forms the Dharmachakra mudra at his chest while twin utpala flowers rise from his fingertips, one crowned with a dharma wheel and the other with a sacred vase. His gently downcast eyes and serene gold-painted face invite quiet contemplation, offering devotees an enduring source of loving-kindness and the promise of enlightenment yet to come.

Handcrafted in Nepal using investment casting method, this statue is shaped from pure copper and enhanced with layers of gold fire-gilding. The tiered crown and sacred ornaments are silver-plated and richly inlaid with semi-precious inlays, echoing the classical adornments of Buddhist iconography. Every side of of the robe and every scroll of the throne has been rendered through fine repoussé work and hand-carved detailing.

Behind him rises an ornate halo crowned with a fierce guardian face and flanked by coiling makara and finely carved elephants, motifs of strength and auspicious protection that frame his seated form. Whether placed within a temple or a private shrine, this Enthroned Maitreya Buddha statue stands as an enduring centerpiece for devotion and meditation.

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.
