Female Ksitigarbha is famously known for his great compassionate vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied and all sentient beings are saved from suffering, particularly those trapped in hell realms. She is considered the guardian of beings in the six realms of existence (hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, demigods/asuras, and gods/devas) during the period between the passing of Gautama Buddha and the arrival of Maitreya, the future Buddha.
