Maitreya teachings

Maitreya is a special being that is talked about in Buddhist teachings. Some people believe that he will come to Earth one day to help everyone reach enlightenment and peace.

Maitreya teachings are the things that people learn about Maitreya and how to follow his example. The teachings are like a map that helps people become better people and treat each other kindly.

Just like when you learn the rules of a game, Maitreya teachings teach us how to be kind and loving to ourselves and others. They show us the way to love and peace.
