From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

In Buddhism, the Maitreya Buddha (Sanskrit: Metteyya) is "The Future Buddha" (or, "The Buddha of the Future"). This is a Bodhisattva, of the Tusita deva realm, who Buddhists believe will come to restore the purity of the dharma. He is comparable with the Pharsi Saoshyant.
