Buddhas of The Three Times
(དུས་གསུམ་སངས་རྒྱས)
The Buddhas of Three Times (past, present and future) is often represented by:
▪ Dipamkara (མར་མེ་མཛད)- Past
▪ Shakyamuni (ཤཱཀྱ་ཐུབ་པ) - Present
▪ Maitreya (བྱམས་པ་མགོན་པོ)- Future

#Dipamkara (Marmedzé)

He is the first of a list of eighteen buddhas who preceded Buddha Shakyamuni. In Tibetan iconography, Dipamkara most usually represents all the buddhas of the past.

#Shakyamuni (Śākyamuni)

The Indian prince Gautama Siddhartha, who reached enlightenment (and thus became a buddha) in the sixth century B.C., and who taught the spiritual path followed by millions all over the world, known today as Buddhism.

#Maitreya (Jampé Gönpo)
He is the bodhisattva who will be the next buddha after Shakyamuni Buddha. For now he resides in Tushita (དགའ་ལྡན).

As one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (བྱང༌ཆུབ༌སེམས༌དཔའ༌བརྒྱད), he is sometimes depicted as whitish-yellow in colour and holding an orange bush which dispels the fever of the destructive emotions.
