Yellow Dzambhala is a Bodhisattva that is venerated in Tibetan Buddhist beliefs. He is one of five Jambhalas and he is associated with the Buddhist virtue of equanimity. Additionally, he is an embodiment of the Buddha Ratsnasambhava who is one of the Five Wisdom Tathagatas. This makes Dzambhala a member of the “jewel” family.
