The Maitreya Statue
is a magnificent 500ft/152m bronze statue in the form of Maitreya Buddha. The statue is being built to last at least 1,000 years, providing an enduring monument to the quality of loving-kindness. The purpose is to bring as much benefit as possible, for as long as possible - spiritually, in education and healthcare, and economically, through the direct and indirect creation of employment opportunities.
