With reference to Indian history, who among the following is a future Buddha, yet to come to save the world?

1. A

   Avalokiteshvara

   (a) Avalokiteshvara. The bodhisattva of compassion, already active in Mahayana devotion (Padmapani is a form). He is not the Buddha-yet-to-come. This option is not the key.

2. B

   Lokesvara

   (b) Lokesvara. A name overlapping Avalokiteshvara/Lokesvara in some traditions, still a present bodhisattva of compassion, not the future Buddha. This option is not the key.

3. C

   Maitreya

   (c) Maitreya. In Buddhist eschatology Maitreya is the next Buddha, who will descend from Tushita to teach when Shakyamuni’s dharma has faded. That is the “future Buddha” of the question. This option is the official key.

4. D

   Padmapani

   (d) Padmapani. “Lotus-bearer,” an epithet/form of Avalokiteshvara, not the future Buddha. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) Maitreya. Indian and wider Buddhist tradition names Maitreya as the Buddha still to come. Avalokiteshvara, Lokesvara and Padmapani belong to the compassion-bodhisattva complex already in the present age. They “save” as helpers, but they are not the future Samyaksambuddha of the lists. The WRAP key is therefore (c).
