Maitreya's name is derived from the Sanskrit 'maitri' meaning 'universal loving-kindness'. When Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings disappear from this world (the teachings of the historical Buddha of our current age), negativity and misfortune will grow until, spontaneously moved by his overwhelming compassion, Maitreya will manifest in our world as a radiantly beautiful spiritual teacher inspiring people to practice the path of virtue, especially loving-kindness.
This wonderfull thangka was painted by Nepali-Tibetan artisans in Nepal especially for the Foundation Store and incorporates a very high quality brocade. The size of the image is approx. 10"x12" and with the brochade 20"x30" approx.
Thangkas may have minor variations on painting and color details due to individual artist work.
