Kshitigarbha is a revered bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, known especially for his vow to help all beings in the six realms until the liberation of all suffering is achieved. Often called the “Earth Treasury” or “Earth Store” Bodhisattva, he is associated with compassion and the protection of souls, particularly those in hell realms or suffering in difficult states after death. Kshitigarbha’s compassionate vow embodies the ideal of selfless dedication to the welfare of others, and he is frequently depicted as a monk carrying a staff to open the gates of hell and a wish-fulfilling jewel to grant blessings. Devotees often invoke him for guidance, protection, and to ease the suffering of deceased loved ones.
