Among the many Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, the wisdom of Manjusri, the compassion of Guanyin, the great aspirations of Ksitigarbha, and the great deeds of Samantabhadra demonstrate the abundance of life. Buddhism advocates cultivating wisdom as well as blessing. A female bodhisattva who symbolizes wealth (including material and spiritual) and the spouse of Jambhala (the God of Wealth). The Chinese society calls her the ” Wealth of Mother Buddha” and the Bodhisattva of the World. The chant is “Stream of Gems”Dharani. She is called Vasudhāra in Nepal today. Her portrait has three faces and six arms, holding different dharma objects in her hands and possessing different abilities. Vasudhāra is like the mother who bred the earth and cultivated our hearts. She is also a bodhisattva with great compassion.
