A Bodhisattva is one who engages in spiritual practice to become a “Nyorai(Tathagata)”, simply put, they hold a rank just below that of a “Nyorai”. Among them, however, Maitreya Bodhisattva holds a special status, he is a Bodhisattva known as the “Future Buddha”, destined to attain Buddhahood after Shakyamuni(the historical Buddha).

It is said that there are fifty-two stages of Buddhist enlightenment, with the highest – the fifty-second stage – being “Supreme Enlightenment”, the ultimate state attained by Shakyamuni Buddha. Bodhisattvas exist at various levels, ranging from the first stage to the higher ones, Maitreya Bodhisattva occupies the fifty-first stage, known as “Equal Enlightenment”, a state nearly equivalent to full Buddhahood. However, it is said to take a staggering 5.6 billion years to ascend just one more step from there – a truly mind-boggling span of time. Maitreya is currently said to be undergoing spiritual training in a realm known as “Tushita Heaven”.
