White Jambhala: White Jambhala also know as Kubera in the Hindu pantheon (Tibetan: Dzambhala Karpo) is bestower of wealth. Jambhala is an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. White Dzambhala is born from the right eye of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Jambhala holds a victory banner (Skt. dhvaja; Tib. rgyal-mtshan) in his left hand which signifies the victory of Buddhism. The top of the banner takes the form of a small parasol, which is surmounted by a central wish-granting gem. This domed parasol is rimmed by an ornate crest-bar with makara-tailed ends from which hangs a billowing silk scarf. As a hand-held ensign the banner is an attribute of many deities, particularly those associated with wealth and power, such as Jambhala/Kubera. White Jambhala Riding a Dragon is believed to come through the tradition of Jowo Atisha, founder of what came to be known as the Kadam School. This specific white form of Jambhala is also believed to be an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. The other forms of Jambhala, such as yellow and black, of are their own individual entity and not associated with Avalokiteshvara. The lineage of teachers for the White form of Jambhala lists Lokeshvara first fiollowed by Jowo Atisha. This is most likely an indication that the practice is a 'pure vision' creation of Atisha himself and not based on an Indian or Sanskrit source text. Accompanying White Jambhala are four dakinis. Yellow Ratna Dakini holds a jewel in the right hand and a vase in the left, dancing on the left leg. Blue Vajra Dakini holds a vajra in the right hand and a monk's begging bowl in the left. Red Padma Dakini holds a lotus in the right hand and a hook in the left. Green Vishva Dakini holdsa vishvavajra (double vajra) in the right hand and a wish-fulfilling jewel in the left. The most unique and striking characteristic of the iconography of White Jambhala is the turquoise or greenish coloured dragon that he rides - usually depicted in a Chinese style. Not all painted images or sculptural representations have the attributes in the right and left hands as described in the texts. Some depictions reverse the attributes. Also, some depictions are without the jewel spitting mongoose. Size: Size without Brocade: 18 inches by 24 inches Shipping: We ship within 2 business day.
