In Mahayana Buddhism, Kshitigarbha is a well-known bodhisattva who represents great vows and is deeply associated with compassion and the reduction of suffering, particularly in the hell realms. He is sometimes referred to as the "Earth Treasury Bodhisattva." Jizo Bosatsu, revered in Japan, is another manifestation of Kshitigarbha. Ksitigarbha's dedication to assisting all creatures in achieving enlightenment and his pledge to become a bodhisattva for the benefit of all sentient beings are demonstrated by his decision to forgo becoming a Buddha himself. This commitment includes reducing the suffering of beings in the lower realms, such as those in hell. In China, Korea, and Japan, he is highly revered and invoked to protect travelers, children, and those in need. Ksitigarbha is frequently depicted carrying a wheat plant and a precious jewel, which represent food and spiritual wealth, respectively, and is seated in a meditative posture.
