[Shaleen]

Jambhala (also known as Dzambhala, Dzambala, Zambala or Jambala) is the God of Wealth and appropriately a member of the Jewel Family (see Ratnasambhava).

In Hindu mythology, Jambhala is known as Kubera. Jambhala is also believed to be an emanation of Avalokitesvara or Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

There are five different wealth Jambhala, each has their own practice and mantra to help eliminate poverty and create financial stability.

Way of practice

The puja of five Jambhalas summons immense positive wealth energies upon the participants.


In Tantrism, Jambhala practice is an expedient and worldly cultivation-method.

Tantric cultivation is divided into “Generation Stage” and “Completion Stage”; Generation Stage is the foundation while Completion Stage consists of practices pertaining to the holy truth and the transcendental methods.

Jambhala practice is a fundamental cultivation-method.

The basis of five Jambhalas practices is Bodhicitta. Practitioners should generate the altruistic intention of compassion (Bodhicitta), and practice generosity.

The practice can remove poverty within the six realms and increase one’s merits, wisdom and lifespan.

All their material and spiritual needs will be met.


The Buddhists believe that wealth results from one’s past actions, but this puja itself also plays a significant role in changing the course of one’s financial situation.

Gaden Shartse said:

“With a sincere motivation to accumulate merit, purify our negative karma, as well as make prayers for all sentient beings to be freed from all poverty and all sufferings, without doubt - one will certainly receive the vast blessings and protection of the wealth deities.”


Some second thoughts

Some people claim that cultivating the Jambhala practice will increase one’s greed.

Although the spiritual practitioner has the desire to gain great fortune, his body, mind and speech are nonetheless gradually purified in the process of practicing the Tantric method.
