About Maitreya

Maitreya, the Future Buddha in Buddhist tradition, is a revered Bodhisattva currently residing in the Tushita Heaven, awaiting his destined time to descend to Earth and restore the Dharma when the teachings of Gautama Buddha have faded. Known as the next Buddha to come, Maitreya symbolizes hope, renewal, and future enlightenment. Recognized in scriptures as early as the 3rd century CE, the Maitreya Bodhisattva became the central figure of one of the earliest devotional cults in Buddhism. Uniquely venerated across all Buddhist schools, Maitreya is the only Bodhisattva widely honored in the Theravāda tradition, embodying compassion and the promise of a new spiritual era.
