Dzambala Statue, Bodhisattva Jambala Gilded In 24K Gold
The Hindu deity of prosperity, "Kubera," inspired the Dzambala statue. He is a manifestation of Avalokitesvara, works to benefit all sentient beings. Zambala is a protective deity associated with wealth and prosperity. Jambhala is the protector of all lineages and all sentient beings from all sickness and difficulties.
Once, many eons ago, Jambala took birth in the world known as Hoetzer Jyapa, meaning a hundred light rays. It was a land of great wealth where no one knew about famines, natural calamities, and wars. Here too, in this most fortunate world, the Buddha Nime Shel propagated the teachings of Mahayoga. During this prosperous life, Jambala prayed fervently, with the noble motivation to help the poor and unfortunate, that he would be reborn as a god of wealth. After this dignified life and according to his wishes, he was reborn as a prince in a kingdom north of Mt. Meru ruled by Vaisravana, one of the chief gods of wealth.
