Handmade Buddha Statue | Maitreya Buddha Tusita Heaven Buddha
The future Buddha, said to be presently residing in Tusita Heaven and waiting for his rebirth to bring in a new era of enlightenment on Earth, is represented by this exquisitely carved Maitreya Buddha statue. The statue is carved from copper and adorned with jewels, paints, and 24K gold gilding. The statue is Western-style, symbolizing Maitreya's willingness to come down when the time is right. He holds either a stupa, symbolizing Buddha's relics, or a vase of immortality, symbolizing his capacity to grant longevity and spiritual prosperity. Maitreya's left hand is in the Varada mudra, symbolizing offering, giving, welcoming, generosity, and compassion, and his right hand is in the Abhaya mudra, symbolizing protection, kindness, peace, and fear dispelling.
Maitreya's look, which reflects his function as the the beginning of a future era of peace, is one of serenity and delight. Maitreya is portrayed in several traditions, particularly in East Asia, as having a cheerful face that highlights his kind and pleasant nature. This statue is a powerful symbol of hope for the future and the promise of spiritual regeneration since his entrance signifies the end of suffering and the start of a period filled with wisdom and pleasure for all creatures.

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.
