Yellow Wealth God
The Yellow Wealth God, known as Dzambhala in Tibetan, is a protective deity in Tantric Buddhism and the chief of all wealth gods. He is one of the five wealth gods widely worshipped in various Tibetan Buddhist sects, named for his yellow skin. Legend has it that the Yellow Wealth God was once a Bodhisattva who had already cultivated the five paths and ten grounds. When Shakyamuni Buddha was expounding the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra at Vulture Peak in central India, demons and spirits came to interfere, causing the mountain to collapse. At this time, the Yellow Wealth God bravely appeared to protect the listening monks, keeping them safe. Later, Shakyamuni Buddha instructed the Yellow Wealth God to take refuge in Buddhism and help all suffering beings, thus becoming a great protective deity.
Practicing the Yellow Wealth God method and reciting his mantra can bring his blessings, increasing merit, longevity, wisdom, material and spiritual enjoyment, and wealth while eliminating poverty. To allow Tantric practitioners to spread the Dharma and benefit beings without being constrained by life's necessities, he grants them abundant wealth. Those who practice the Yellow Wealth God method should generate the supreme bodhicitta, diligently practice generosity, create good connections widely, avoid greed, maintain sincerity, and vow to save all beings from poverty. With this intention, the merits will be immeasurable, and practicing the wealth god method will lead to perfect abundance.
White Wealth God
The White Wealth God, known as Dzambhala Karpo in Tibetan, is also called the White Treasure King and is a compassionate manifestation of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. It is said that when Atisha was traveling to Avalokiteshvara's holy land of Mount Putuo, he encountered a poor man suffering from poverty and illness. As a monk, Atisha had no money and felt helpless to alleviate the man's suffering. Deeply saddened, he began to weep. At that moment, Avalokiteshvara manifested in human form and asked why he was crying. Moved by Atisha's compassion, Avalokiteshvara shed two blue tears: the left tear transformed into the Rescuing Buddha Mother, and the right tear became the White Wealth God. Avalokiteshvara instructed the White Wealth God to pass on this method.
Practicing the White Wealth God method can eliminate poverty, illness, and suffering, remove karmic obstacles, increase favorable conditions, and obtain abundant resources. It is an excellent practice for devotees without wealth to begin with. Practitioners should embody Avalokiteshvara's great compassion, frequently engage in formless giving, and care for the poor and suffering. Naturally, their wishes will be fulfilled.
Red Wealth God
The Red Wealth God possesses the power to gather people, wealth, food, and all kinds of enjoyments, bringing prosperity and abundance. He is a highly meritorious wealth god in the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, which places great importance on his secret practice methods and teachings. The Red Wealth God has one face and two arms, with wrathful yet benevolent eyes, adorned with various jewels and wearing a five-Buddha crown. In ancient times, kings and nobles often practiced this method, finding it easy to connect with, as it is a method of loving-kindness. The Red Wealth God wears a jeweled crown, holds a wish-fulfilling jewel in his right hand, and grasps a wealth-vomiting mongoose in his left hand. His right foot is extended, and he stands on a lotus and moon disc.
Practicing the Red Wealth God method and reciting his mantra can bring his protection, increase wealth, and eliminate poverty and all economic difficulties. The results of this practice vary according to the practitioner's intention. Those who generate the supreme bodhicitta can achieve perfect worldly and transcendent merit. Those seeking worldly wealth can have their wishes fulfilled, while the destitute can obtain sufficient food.

He appeared to benefit beings in the Saha world, helping them escape the suffering of poverty. His main function is to dispel all evil fortune and ensure that all good wishes are fulfilled without obstacles. According to Padmasambhava, Vajrapani transmitted this Black Wealth God method to dakinis in the northern yaksha pure land, instructing them to pass it on to fortunate individuals who constantly maintain good thoughts. Later, two accomplished masters obtained these practice methods from precious stones. This method is easily accessible to the poor, lower classes, and solitary practitioners. If one maintains good thoughts, the Black Wealth God's blessings will never be lost.
