Maitreya Buddha is widely believed among the people. As early as the Western Qin Dynasty (4th-5th century), the Maitreya Buddha statue had been drawn in the Bingling Temple Grottoes in Gansu Province. The early Maitreya was painted and carved according to the Upper Maitreya Sutra and the Lower Maitreya Sutra.
The image of Maitreya created according to Maitreya's Sutra on Life is a bodhisattva, which shows the image of Maitreya's struggle on life to lead heaven to heaven. It is characterized by Maitreya posing as a bodhisattva, sitting with his feet crossed, his left foot drooping, his right leg flexed, and his right hand holding his chin, which is called "half-thinking image". This is the scene of Maitreya waiting for his next life in his pocket.
There is a sitting statue of Maitreya in Northern Wei Dynasty in Cave 13 of Yungang Grottoes, which is 13 meters high and is an early grotto Maitreya.
