Ksitigarbha Between the passing of Gautama (Sakyamuni) Buddha and the rising of Maitreya Buddha, he vowed to teach all beings of the six worlds. He also vowed not to attain Buddhahood until all those imprisoned in hell were released. He is known as the bodhisattva of the earth, and he is thought to be the bodhisattva of all those trapped in hell, as well as the guardian of the souls of deceased children, aborted fetuses, travelers, and children in general.
