AI-written summary
Miroku Bosatsu, known in Sanskrit as Maitreya, is venerated in Japanese Buddhism as the future Buddha who is said to dwell in the Tushita heaven, awaiting the appointed age to descend and teach the dharma anew. Traditionally regarded as a bodhisattva of compassion and hope, Miroku is associated with themes of renewal and the promise of a future era of peace and abundance. Some folk traditions have linked Miroku to fertility and childbirth, though this association is a devotional and cultural practice rather than a claim established in core Buddhist scripture.
