@slowwalker,
We all (Buddhist in Sri Lanka) have believes about Maitreya boddhisathwa! He will be the last Buddha of this Badra Kalpa! So, we all hope /wish to hear his dharma to find the Nirwana!
This building looks so beautiful and thanks to your photography skills, we can see the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattwa though that front door! Really appreciate your effort and the story shared with this article! Thank you!

Cheers~
