Dzambala was born many eons ago in the world known as Hoetzer Jyapa, which means "a hundred light rays." Famines, natural disasters, and wars were unheard of in this region of enormous abundance. In this most fortunate realm, the Buddha Nime Shel spread Mahayoga teachings. Dzambala hoped to be reborn as a god of wealth in this wealthy life, with the noble goal of helping the poor and unfortunate.
