Maitreya is a figure in Buddhist eschatology, which refers to the study of the end of the world and the ultimate destiny of humanity. According to some Buddhist traditions, Maitreya is a bodhisattva, a being who has achieved enlightenment but chooses to remain in the world to help others attain enlightenment. In Buddhist scripture, Maitreya is described as the future Buddha who will appear on Earth in a time when the teachings of the current Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, have been forgotten or lost. Maitreya is said to be a benevolent teacher who will help people find their way back to the path of enlightenment.
