Maitreya Buddha, in Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, is the successor to Siddhartha Gautama (Shakyamuni Buddha). He is prophesied to be born in the Saha world in the future, practice the Dharma, and become the next Buddha of this world, thus also known as the Future Buddha. He is revered as the progenitor by the Yogacara school and was highly esteemed by prominent Chinese Mahayana Buddhist masters such as Zhi Qian, Dao'an, and Xuanzang.

In some Chinese Buddhist temples, he is commonly depicted with an exposed belly and a joyful, smiling countenance. This representation serves as a didactic symbol in Buddhism, signifying "great capacity and great blessings," reminding people to cultivate inclusivity and tolerance. Maitreya Buddha embodies compassion, generosity, and an optimistic, broad-minded spirit. The saying, "A big belly can accommodate all the things in the world that are difficult to accommodate; a wide-open mouth laughs at all the laughable people in the world," perfectly encapsulates Maitreya Buddha. It contains profound life philosophy, inspiring thought and guiding one's path in life.

All phenomena in the world, the myriad beings, human emotions of love and hate, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, the ebb and flow of wealth and poverty, high and low status, official ranks, and the allure of worldly pleasures—all are met with a single smile. A big belly can embrace what ordinary people find unbearable. Enduring inner烦恼 (afflictions), tolerating the loneliness of time, and refraining from momentary anger will avert long-term worries.

Patience is paramount, and harmony is precious. The image of Maitreya Buddha conveys to people an attitude of optimism, open-mindedness, and indifference to worldly fame and gain. Among numerous works depicting Maitreya,
