Buddhism regards the Maitreya Buddha as a well-known and culturally diverse figure. Since it is said in Buddhist texts like the Pali Canon and the Mahayana Sutras that Maitreya will bring about a new age of enlightenment, Maitreya is revered as the Buddha of the future. Maitreya Buddha appears as a ray of compassion and hope in the wide Buddhist cosmology.
On the other hand, Maitreya is portrayed as a patient and kind bodhisattva who is only awaiting his next rebirth to become the next Buddha. Typically, Maitreya Buddha is depicted wearing garments, jewels, and headdresses that showcase the artistic talent of the Newari heritage. The traditional Buddhist images of Maitreya Buddha are not followed; instead, he is portrayed as a young prince.
