Maitreya worship in Tibet. Religion between art and politics 

par Olaf Czaja (Université de Leipzig)

Résumé :

The worship of the future Buddha Maitreya is widespread in Asia and has a long tradition. In Tibet, prayers were  dedicated to him for centuries. Nevertheless, the belief in the coming Buddha was not only purely religious, but closely interwoven with the politics of that time. This is particularly evident in the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. The diverse forms of worship dedicated to Maitreya, its ideological and political foundations, and the accompanying artistic developments from the beginning to the present are briefly presented in this lecture.
