Finely Carved Buddha Maitreya Statue for Meditation and Ritual
We created this stunning gold buddha Maitreya statue in our studio using a traditional Himalayan carving technique passed down from generation to generation from Nepal. The Buddha, seen as the embodiment of loving-kindness, is depicted seated on a throne, elegantly and with a smiling face. His feet rest on a moon disc lotus seat. The Buddha can be seen performing the "Dharmachakra Mudra," representing the Buddha's first sermon.
This statue's beautiful detailing and gold gilding are sure to capture the eye and add a sense of peace and tranquility to any setting.

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.
