Maitreya Buddha, the Buddha of the future, is depicted as the embodiment of loving-kindness, hope, and the promise of future enlightenment for all beings. He is often shown seated in a relaxed posture upon a lotus throne, symbolizing ease, compassion, and readiness to descend into the world when the time is ripe for universal awakening.
