Four hundred yearsfrom the late Han, there were many wars happened, regime changes, the masses had no means tolive and the people were plunged into an abyss of misery.

Maitreya lacks ofinnovation on doctrine thesis、proclamation of Eminent monks, however there were manyEminent monks believed in Metro belief, they completed the thesis and doctrine of Metro belief,also they proclaimed it. So, there are more and more people believed in Metro belief. Manypeople misunderstand the thought of Metro and used it to uprising. As a result, political issueswere included; the drawdown of ruling classes was the reason of the decline of Maitreya Belief.In addition, the diversification of people’s belief and the popular of Bodhisattva belief were alsothe reasons.
