The Tibetan Buddhists have wealth deities who are believed to manifest in order to help those in need of money. These wealth deities, or Jambhalas, are believed to be most effective in bringing wealth to the home when they are properly placed under falling water.

There are altogether five different Jambhalas:

 The green Jambhala, usually shown with its consort

 The yellow Jambhala, usually depicted seated

 The black Jambhala, usually shown standing

 The white Jambhala, usually shown seated on a dragon

 The red Jambhala, usually shown resembling the Hindu God Ganesh, with an elephant countenance.

The Buddhist Jambhalas usually have stern expressions on their faces, and they are always holding a mongoose from whose mouth spews forth precious gems, gold, and other manifestations of wealth. At the foot of the Jambhala should be placed a pile of such manifestations of wealth.

The ritual for enticing the Jambhala to make its mongoose spew forth jewels and gold is to create a continuous stream of water falling directly onto the crown of its head. This ritual, plus the regular chanting of prayers and mantras to the Jambhalas, will attract auspicious wealth luck to your home.

Each of the five Jambhalas has a different mantra and sadhana (spiritual visualization). To do the Jambhala practice with full mantra chanting and offerings, it is best to seek out the help of a qualified lama who has the correct lineage, and to then very respectfully request an initiation. An initiation is like asking for blessings and permission to do the Jambhala practice, and then it will be most powerful.

Those who wish may, however, look for and display the Jambhalas as described on their prosperity waterfalls. You can find Jambhala statues at any Tibetan or Nepali shop that sells Buddhist images and holy objects.

If you create your Jambhala wealth waterfall with the correct respectful attitude not only will your wish for prosperity materialize but, far more importantly, it will actually create the opportunity for you to meet with a holy lama. If you meet such a teacher and guide then you will discover that the spiritual benefits you receive will far outweigh any material riches that may come your way. Remember, when you practice this ritual that you should always do so with respect and humility.

The yellow Jambhala is a Tibetan wealth deity that is placed under falling water to bring money to those in need.
