Ketumati (Ch'ih-t'ou)[1] is a legendary place in some Buddhist traditions viewed as the earthly paradise of the prophesied figure called Maitreya, who is the future Buddha.
No person will need to live inside huts built from wood as everyone in Ketumati will have palaces made from seven kinds of gems.
In its time, the entire region of Jambudvipa will not suffer from hunger or need any forms of cultivation as the world will be peaceful, and even beyond this, due to Ketumati's merits, all of its people will have safety, as those who inhabit it will be virtuous.
In the ponds, gardens and groves of Ketumati the water will be pure, covered by blue, red, white, purple and multicolored lotus flowers.
The citizens of Ketumati will not worry about calamities such as flooding, thievery, fires, wars, poison, old age or famine because at this time the world will be in a state of peace.
