According
to Buddhist tradition, Maitreya is a bodhisattva who will appear on
Earth in the future, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the
pure dharma. According to scriptures, Maitreya will be a successor to
the present Buddha, Gautama Buddha (Śākyamuni Buddha). The prophecy
of the arrival of Maitreya refers to a time in the future when the
dharma will have been forgotten by most on the terrestrial world.
