Why Spring Maitreya called? The reason is that the opening day of the Buddha Maitreya's birthday right on New Year's Day, he appeared among the world's spring with the truth:

"Belly to, cheek dimple
Surrounded six children leaning back shouting "

It is the incarnation of the future cardinal of the world Saha, who inherited his career by the German born Guru Shakyamuni Buddha and testament prophesies. On the occasion of the Snake Spring we try to learn something about the future Buddha in this life:

Shakyamuni Buddha once said: th of the month is the anniversary of Lord Maitreya Bodhisattva chickened out, and then you will be taught in Longhua Association. So we often hear him praise and worship the great festival of the day this is important? "MaleDescription Longhua Holiness, Lai Ha Birth Of Sun Buddha Maitreya . "This statement specifies that: Lord Maitreya will be the future Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha was signed for his life after the Buddha in the world Saha to continue to teach the students.

Talking about the future of Lord Maitreya Maitreya, the biblical birth is written: "Lord Maitreya is now one of four indigenous Bodhisattvas are internal staff ottoman made ​​heaven, waiting until the end of the world reduced life ninth, tenth rise to life, then he will incarnate into this mundane world in the home of a Brahmin named Pham Tu Na. His mother's name on Na Baht problem. When he was born there are many good generals, virtuous integrity, intelligence they came, raised his monastic practice, successor to the mountain to receive the Buddha's Eight Y Hymns, by group Mahakasyapa handed. Then he came sitting under a tree Longhua Kim Cang location using clean except ignorance, attains Supreme Bodhi. Then he began to preach in Hoa Lam Auditorium under Longhua plant. The first Conference of the memory 96 into A la Han . Society was 94 degrees Monday to inhibit the Arhat, the Tuesday of the 92 memories of Arhat. Consequently, called " Long Hoa Tam Society . "He preached to six thousand years, of the countless religious beings from suffering. "

While waiting to Congress Longhua, Maitreya has assigned itself, incarnate in many different states to teach beings. In Kinh said: " Bodhisattva certainly benefit obligation being skeptical of "Bodhisattva means taking the benefit of beings, their duties and their responsibilities.

One of his next incarnation that we most often hear that Father Abbot University of Chinese Buddhism, there is a monk in soil Pearl District Fenghua, China, he often brought the cloth goes here markets around the village, who for whatever off all carried away here. His teaching experience is often the poor, making many mysteries, strange. In heaven no one understands how he is, just as your father together called the Great Master (Sayadaws carry bag large scatter), to life Luong Minh City dating to submit its third year, he groups them Music in the Forest Temple, he sat upright verse says:

After saying the verse, he peacefully president.

So according to this incarnation, the Chinese Buddhist and Buddhism VN, often revered statue looked gentle joy, smiling happily. He symbolizes happiness and scholarly material, flexible lighting up his statue carved in the image of a Buddha to his big, stout, sitting very self in shape, coat brake chest and smiled brightly.
