Kshitigarbha is revered as one of the four principal Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, known for his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied. He is typically depicted holding a staff to force open the gates of hell and a wish-fulfilling jewel to illuminate the darkness. Kshitigarbha embodies great compassion and acts as a guide and protector for beings in all six realms of existence, particularly those in the lower realms.
