The Maitreya Buddha project is indebted to the kindness of partners who have supported the work from visioning to the inception of its various endeavors.

 

The State Government of Uttar

Pradesh

shares the vision of the Maitreya Buddha Project and Statue. Since 2001, the Maitreya Project Trust has had the support of all the 6 serving Chief Ministers of Uttar Pradesh including current Chief Minister Sri Yogi Aditiyanath, as well as the support of numberless officials at both the State and District Level.

 

Critically Important Partners: Our Donors, Volunteers and Supporters

The Project would never have got to this point without the loyal, patient, and unwavering support of the many dedicated donors, volunteers, and supporters around the world who have embraced the vision and rationale for the Project. Also critical to the development of the Project have been and remain, the amazing architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and the Project’s own small core team.

Unqualified gratitude is extended to each and every one who, as Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains, is, through their contribution, actually building the Project even if they are not on site.
