Maitreya is recognized in Buddhist cosmology as the future Buddha, currently residing in the Tushita heaven as a bodhisattva. Believed to succeed the historical Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya will descend to earth to achieve complete enlightenment and restore the pure teachings of Dharma. Honoring Maitreya is a practice of cultivating loving-kindness (metta) and universal benevolence for all sentient beings.
