Maitreya Loving Kindness Relic Tour is a world-wide touring collection of sacred relics of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni and many other Buddhist masters from Tibet, India, Korea & China. The relics were found among the cremation ashes of Buddhist masters. They resemble beautiful, pearl-like crystals that Tibetans call ringsel. Buddhists believe relics embody the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom and are deliberately produced by the master at his death.
The relics are visible inside display cases that encircle a life-size, golden statue of the Maitreya Buddha. Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha of loving kindness. According to Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya will be the next Buddha to bring teachings of loving-kindness to the world.
To date, the Maitreya Loving Kindness Tour has visited 69 countries and over 2.5 million people have seen the relics at over 780 free public exhibitions. The events are open to everyone to attend regardless of their spiritual background.
