Maitreya Buddha is venerated in Buddhist traditions as the Bodhisattva destined to be reborn as the next Buddha on Earth, succeeding Shakyamuni Buddha. His name comes from the Sanskrit word maitri, meaning universal loving-kindness. According to tradition, Maitreya currently resides in Tushita Heaven, where he prepares to descend to guide beings toward awakening and establish a Pure Land, offering hope, compassion, and the promise of future spiritual renewal for all sentient beings.
