Dzambhala is a prominent figure in the Jewel Family and is often considered an emanation of Ratnasambhava or Avalokiteshvara. In the Buddhist tradition, he is not merely a god of wealth but a protector who ensures practitioners have the necessary conditions to focus on their dharma path. By alleviating the suffering and distractions caused by poverty, he allows for a heart of generosity and the undistracted pursuit of wisdom. His practice is rooted in the transformation of greed into the selfless distribution of merit and resources.
