[Maitreya Bodhisattva] Maitreya Bodhisattva means "one born from compassion" in Sanskrit, and is also known as "Miroku-shi Maitreya." Because the half-seated statues at Koryuji Temple and Chuguji Temple are so famous, it is thought that all Maitreya Bodhisattva figures rest their chin on their elbows, but in fact there are many different forms and mudras. There are many statues in which Maitreya Bodhisattva is wearing a jeweled crown, sitting in a full lotus position with a pagoda placed on his palms in a jodo mudra. Gautama Buddha told Maitreya Bodhisattva that "it will be Maitreya Bodhisattva who will attain enlightenment and become the next Buddha," and Maitreya Bodhisattva is said to appear 5.6 billion 70 million years after Gautama Buddha's death to save people, and has attracted faith as the "Buddha of the Future."
