Throughout the world, the Buddha is recognised as a symbol of peace. Maitreya means 'loving-kindness'.Maitreya Project's 500ft / 152m bronze statue will be built at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh in northern India. The Maitreya Buddha statue and its throne building will provide the public with temples, exhibition halls, a museum, library, audio-visual theatre and hospitality services. All will be set in beautifully landscaped parks with meditation pavilions, beautiful water fountains and tranquil pools. The buildings and grounds of the Project will contain a remarkable and inspiring collection of sacred art.
The Project already provides free education to around 500 students at the Maitreya Project Universal Education School in Bodhgaya, India. Over the years, both the school and hospital will be developed and expanded to meet the needs of their communities.
Building the statue will create, both directly and indirectly, the circumstances for ongoing economic stability, as well as spiritual and social renewal, in and around the Project site.
The statue is designed to stand for at least 1,000 years, supporting the Project's spiritual and social work for at least a millennium.
