A Maitreya Buddha thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that portrays Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future. Maitreya is revered as the next Buddha who will appear in the world to bring enlightenment and teach the Dharma once the teachings of the current Buddha, Shakyamuni, have faded. In Tibetan Buddhism, Maitreya symbolizes hope, compassion, and the future unfolding of spiritual wisdom.
In a Maitreya Buddha thangka, Maitreya is often depicted in a seated posture, distinct from the traditional meditative pose of Shakyamuni Buddha. Maitreya is usually shown seated on a throne with his legs in a relaxed position, one leg often hanging down, symbolizing his readiness to descend to the earthly realm to fulfill his role as the future Buddha.
