Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha, is prophesied to appear as the fifth and final Buddha of this eon, following Shakyamuni. He will reawaken the world to the true Dharma when it has faded, guiding beings toward liberation through teachings centered on loving-kindness, compassion, and the path beyond attachment. Depicted with both hands in the Dharmachakra Mudra—the gesture of turning the wheel of Dharma—he symbolizes the renewal of enlightened wisdom. As a bodhisattva, Maitreya is adorned with a crown, earrings, and elegant robes, reflecting his compassionate readiness to guide all beings toward awakening.

Maitreya, sometimes referred to as the "Future Buddha," is thought to be a Bodhisattva who is presently a resident in Tusita Heaven. He will come down to Earth, reach full enlightenment, and impart the pure Dharma. The expectation of Maitreya symbolizes a shared optimism for a world full of compassion, wisdom, and harmony in the future. It highlights the continuation and enduring relevance of the Buddha's teachings and encourages the present generation to practice the virtues required to establish such a world. This promise is realized in the Radiant Maitreya Buddha Sculpture, a source of inspiration for living kindly and foresightedly in the present and a beacon of light for the future.
