Traditional Himalayan Maitreya The Future Buddha Sculpture
We sculpted the Maitreya The Future Buddha Sculpture as the contemporary progenitors of Tibet's centuries-old Buddhist Himalayan craft, which specialized in creating holy sculptures. The oxidized copper forms up the body. The statue is a beautiful example of great craftsmanship and a skill set that has been handed down through the years. Because the materials used to create this piece of art are of the greatest caliber, we promise the sculpture will last many years.

Maitreya, in the Buddhist tradition, the future Buddha, presently a bodhisattva residing in the Tushita heaven, who will descend to earth to preach the dharma (“law”) anew when the teachings of Gautama Buddha have completely decayed. Maitreya is the earliest Bodhisattva around whom a cult developed and is mentioned in scriptures from the 3rd century CE. He was accepted by all schools of Buddhism and is still the only bodhisattva generally honored by the Theravada tradition.
