Our Yellow Dzambhala sculpture on snow lion mount originated as the god of wealth known as Kubera in Hinduism. However, when Dzambhala was adopted into Buddhism he became associated with additional virtues such as equanimity and generosity. Indeed, he is the embodiment of Ratnasambhava who is the Dhyani Buddha of equanimity. It is the Buddhist mandate of Dzambhala to make basic necessities accessible to the less fortunate.
