With reference to Indian history, who among the following is a future Buddha, yet to come to save the world?

Question

Accepted Answer

In Buddhist tradition, a Bodhisattva is an enlightened being who postpones their own nirvana to help others achieve enlightenment. The concept of a future Buddha is central to Mahayana Buddhism.

**Maitreya**: In Buddhist eschatology, Maitreya is a Bodhisattva who is prophesied to appear on Earth in the future, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma. According to Buddhist scriptures, Maitreya will be the next Buddha (the fifth and final Buddha) in this world cycle. He is often depicted as seated, awaiting his time to descend.
**Avalokiteshvara** (also known as Lokesvara or Padmapani): These are different names or forms of a prominent Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, revered as the Bodhisattva of compassion. They are currently active Bodhisattvas, not future Buddhas.
Therefore, Maitreya is the future Buddha yet to come to save the world.
