【唯识大神变】 Yogacara's Great Astral Transformation!

This statue of Maitreya Boddhisattva is located at Chung Tai Zen Monastery in Puli County, Nantou Province, Taiwan. He has a big cloth-bag under his feet and his is sitting on part of it too! :)

As per the monastery's staff, this Maitreya exhibiting "Letting Go" or "Setting Down" all sentient matter or material.

Tuṣita (Sanskrit) or Tusita (Pāli) is one of the six deva-worlds of the Kāmadhātu, located between the Yāma heaven and the Nirmāṇaratiheaven. 

Like the other heavens, Tuṣita is said to be reachable through meditation. 

It is the heaven where the Bodhisattva Śvetaketu (Pāli: Setaketu, "White Banner") resided before being reborn on Earth as Gautama, the historical Buddha; it is, likewise, the heaven where the Bodhisattva Nātha ("Protector") currently resides, who will later be born as the next Buddha, Maitreya.

SZ said as long as Maitreya radiates Light of Buddha's Nature upon all sentient beings, and as long as each one's heart light up, then all their karmic negatives will be eliminated at once.

And with a chant of [Namo Buddhaya], all will rise to Buddha's Pureland or Tusita.

That is all beings have all left.

We term this as  【唯识大神变】or Yogacara's Great Astral Transformation!




Yogācāra (Sanskrit; literally: "yoga practice"; "one whose practice is yoga")[1] is an influential school of Buddhist philosophy andpsychology emphasizing phenomenology and (some argue)ontology[2] through the interior lens of meditative and yogic practices. It was associated with Indian Mahāyāna Buddhism in about the 4th century CE,[3] but also included non-Mahayana practitioners of the Dârstântika school.[4]

Yogācāra discourse explains how our human experience is constructed by mind.
