About Maitreya:
Maitreya or Maitreyanatha is the bodhisattva who will be the next samyaksambuddha after Shakyamuni Buddha. For now he resides in Tushita. He transmitted teachings to Asanga, who transcribed them as the ‘Five Treatises of Maitreya’. As one of the eight great bodhisattvas, he is sometimes depicted as whitish-yellow in colour and holding an orange bush which dispels the fever of the destructive emotions or holding a vase. 

In this statue Maitreya is seated in a sumeru Throne supported by lions. He is holding the mudra of turning the wheel of Dharma and holding a lotus stem in each hand. On the top of each lotus is the Dharma wheel and the nectar vase. Maitreya is in bodhisattva attire and wearing the celestial crown. This image is depicting the moment where Maitreya is giving Dharma teaching in the Tushita heaven.
