Maitreya, the "Buddha of the Future," will appear when the teachings of the historical Buddha are long forgotten. His coming will coincide with the shrinking of the oceans, so that he can travel to every corner of the earth at will.

Throughout the centuries, several important texts and teachings are said to have arisen from interaction with Maitreya.
