What do you mean, passers-by sent Buddha, saying that I was destined to be Maitreya? I never took it with me, so I put it there.

Passers-by may refer to a person or a group giving the Buddha statue to another person or another group. This kind of behavior may contain the meaning of respect, trust or blessing to the other party.

As for what you said about "I am destined" and "I put it there", I have no context and can't accurately judge each other's meaning. If you are willing to mention more details or provide more background information, I will try my best to provide you with more accurate answers.
