A Maitreya Buddha thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist artwork that depicts Maitreya, the Buddha who is prophesied to come in the future. Maitreya is seen as a symbol of hope, compassion, and the promise of future enlightenment, destined to appear when the teachings of the current Buddha, Shakyamuni, have faded.
In these thangkas, Maitreya is often portrayed sitting on a grand throne, which sets him apart from other Buddhas. Instead of the usual cross-legged meditation posture, he is shown with one leg extended, signifying his readiness to descend to the human realm and bring his teachings to the world. This pose reflects his active role in guiding people towards enlightenment in the future.
