Maitreya
When you travel to Tibet, you will often see the Maitreya, the Future Buddha, in the Temples and Monasteries. Along with Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, and so on. He is the one in the seating position, and he wears a small stupa on his forehead. Seating position means he is ready to come to this world. Stupa on his forehead contains relics of Buddha Sakyamuni, and this is to help him identify it when his turn comes to lay claim to his succession.
