Pictured is a 16th - 17th century statue of Maitreya, the future Buddha, on display in the Dallas Museum of art in Dallas, Texas. The statue of gilt bronze with jeweled and enamel inlays is from Tibet. Maitreya sits in a pose of meditation. He has long been prophesized to appear on Earth, but has yet to appear. The arrival of Maitreya is prophesied to occur when the teachings of Gautama Buddha have been disregarded or largely forgotten. He will bring about a new era in accordance with the Dharma.
