Nepali Jambhala Sculpture for Wealth Creation
Our Nepali Jambhala sculpture is an embodiment of one of the Dhyani Buddhas named Ratnasambhava. Additionally, Yellow Jambhala is the most popular of the 5 variations of Jambhala. Having originated from the Hindu God Kubera, the Jamblalas are sought after by devotees seeking wealth. However, the Buddhist Jambhala is associated with the wholesome attribute of equanimity. As such, he is pursuing the elimination of poverty through wealth creation.
All of the Jambhalas, including this Yellow Jambhala sculpture represent the Dharmapala who are the protectors of the Dharma. Additionally, Yellow Jambhala was personally invited to become a Dharmapala by Gautama Buddha himself. This was in show of gratitude for protecting the Buddha as he gave a sermon.
