I tend to stay in Maitreya Tushita Heaven now most of the time
ever since my experience of Maitreya Heaven with Ling Rinpoche
who ran Tibet for the Dalai Lama until he was of age. I saw Ling Rinpoche in January 1986 above Dharamshala, India with my family in the mountains there. Today I woke up thinking I wanted to share more about Maitreya Heaven
which is also often Called Tushita Heaven.
When I saw Ling Rinpoche he had already been meditating in Maitreya Heaven for 1 to 2 years straight 24 hours a day. I asked the monks if he was coming back into his body to live again and the monks said no. But, I will never forget how he was projecting Maitreya Heaven back through his body to the earth like a huge Sun projecting light upon all mankind.

Tushita
Tushita or Tusita (meaning "contented")[1] is the fourth of the six deva or heavenly realms of Kamadhatu in Buddhist tradition. It is located between the "Yāmā deva" realm and the "Nirmanarati deva" realm in Buddhist cosmology. Like the other heavens (deva realms), Tusita is said to be reachable through sādhanā, or advanced meditative attainments. It is the heaven where the Bodhisattva Svetaketu (Pali: Setaketu "White Banner") resided before being reborn on Earth as Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha;[2] it is the place where bodhisattvas, or future Buddhas reside before their rebirth as a Buddha.[3]
Descriptions[edit]
Like all heavenly realms in Buddhism, the Tusita Heaven is the residence of divine beings or devas. According to the Visakhuposatha Sutta of the Pāli Canon,[4] time there runs very differently than on Earth:
Approximately, a deva month would be 12,000 years (four hundred times thirty), a deva year would be 144,000 years (twelve thousand times twelve), and a deva lifespan would be 576,000,000 years (a hundred forty four thousand times four thousand).
According to the Dana Sutta, those who do meritorious deeds with the intention of helping others would tend to be reborn in Tusita Heaven upon death.[5]
Mahayana view[edit]
The Infinite Life Sutra, a Mahayana text, states:[6]
Because Tusita Heaven is where all Bodhisattvas destined to reach full enlightenment in their next life dwell, Tuṣita heaven is therefore closely associated with Maitreya, the next Buddha. Many Buddhists vow to be reborn there so that they can hear the teachings of Maitreya and ultimately be reborn with him when he becomes a Buddha. Other bodhisattvas also dwell in this heavenly realm from time to time.
