MAITREYA
THE FUTURE BUDDHA
Maitreya whose name means “ the all loving” is the future Buddha. He is golden in colour and is seated on a throne that is supported by snow lions, his feet resting upon a moon dics that rises from a lotus flower. His hands meet at the heart in the mudra symbolizing the turning of the wheel of Dharma, which represents the first teaching that Shakyamuni Buddha gave at the deer park of Sarnath near Varanasi. Between the thumb and forefinger of each hand are the stem of lotus flowers that bears the two attributes of Maitreya, the wheel of Dharma and a vase containing the nectar of immortality.
