As BUDDHA already attained nirvana, he is gone. Then how can he again come as maitreya buddha?
As we all know buddha is said to have come as maitreya buddha when buddhism is completely vanished. But as buddha is enlightened and attained nirvana, his life cycles were ended. So he was free and gone. Then how can he again come to this world.
Is this maitreya buddha subject was really told by buddha? Or it was later created by his later followers?
1. The Gautama Buddha rejected both these alternatives to describe the arahant ("enlightened being') after death: a state of annihilation/of non existence, or a state of eternal existence in some other form, declaring that this question is inapplicable. The Buddha said: "There is no measure of him who had achieved the goal. That by which one could define him, that is not for him. When all phenomena (dhamma) are removed, then all means of description are also removed."
Nagarjuna expressed this understanding in the nirvana in Mulamadhyamakakarika: "It is not assumed that the Blessed One exists after death. Neither is it assumed that he does not exist, or both, or neither. It is not assumed that even a living Blessed One exists. Neither is it assumed that he does not exist, or both, or neither. Final Nibbana is not a state of annihilation, since there is no self to be annihilated or extinguished. In Sn 10.74, it is stated that the sage cannot be "reckoned" because he is freed from the category "name" or, more generally, concepts. To try to speak about what lies beyond the ending of this process is to venture outside the boundaries of conceptualization, outside the boundaries of language.
2. Buddhism has always recognized more than one Samyaksambuddha (achieve Nirvana through their own efforts, without a teacher to point out the Dharma, then lead others to enlightenment by teaching the Dhamma in a time or world where it has been forgotten or has not been taught before). A Samyaksambuddha does not depend upon a tradition that stretches back to a previous Samyaksambuddha, but instead discovers the path anew. Others may become liberated, but due to their lack of merit, they would not attainment the stage of Sammasambuddha.
In the Pali Canon, 28 previous Buddhas are mentioned, and Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha, is simply the Buddha who has appeared in our world age. However all of these Buddha are unified in two ways: firstly they share similar special characteristics. All Buddhas have the 32 major marks, and the 80 minor marks of a superior being (These marks are not necessarily physical, but are talked about as bodily features). Other thing that all buddhas have in common : the Dharma that they teach is identical in each case.
Maitreya is a bodhisattva (spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations were ordinary humans with physical bodies, but who have undergone a process of spiritual transformation and motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, spontaneously wish to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings). In some Buddhist literature, such as the Amitabha Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, he is referred to as Ajita Bodhisattva.
Countless aeons ago, Maitreya, while making many offerings, took the bodhisattva vows from the Tathagata Great Power in the presence of many other Buddhas. From that moment on, he has guided countless sentient beings along the path of the three higher trainings (discipline, concentration and wisdom) to enlightenment. At present his particular abode is the Pure Land of Tushita, said to be reachable through meditation and an abode for all bodhisattva before they attain buddhahood. There he imparts mahayana teachings to many countless advanced bodhisattva disciples. Throughout the ten directions of space he appears as countless spiritual masters, thereby leading innumerable beings along the path to full awakening. Eventually the time will come for Maitreya to appear as the fifth universal Buddha of this world age, succeeding Gautama Buddha and turn the wheel of dharma for the benefit of all.
