Cultivating the White Dzambhala Practice enables the eradication of poverty and illnesses. It can eliminates sins and karmic hindrances, enhance one’s positive karmic affinities and wealth. This is an excellent cultivation for the financially impoverished. The Buddhist disciple should cultivates this with the compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, practices formless charity and care for the suffering sentient beings; leading to spiritual accomplishment and the fulfillment of all wishes.

When cultivating the “Dragon-ridding White Dzambhala Practice”, we can also pray that he will lead us to hidden treasures. In the olden days, Tibetan Tantric masters placed their precious teachings in caves. These teachings were sealed in the four elements of “earth, water, fire and wind”. One needs to employ very special methods to retrieve these Dharma treasures. One must also know the location of the caves where these ancestry masters had practiced in seclusion. We may pray to the “Dragon-ridding White Dzambhala”, so that he will bring us to these caves where the treasures were hidden.

One could offer spheric dessert made from 3 “white” ( milk, yoghurt, flour ) & 3 “sweet” ( white sugar, rock sugar, honey ) to White Dzambhala.

His Mantra Is :

Om Dzambhala Dzalim Dzaye Svaha

Everybody wants money! When one is rich, it is easier to be unselfish and to develop an attitude of generosity. The rich gold colouring of Dzambhala’s skin represents increase and growth: in the short term, he could grant us material wealth and liberate us from poverty; More importantly, his practice or worship can also bring us to spiritual wealth and personal growth, to become a better being.

The purpose of worship or practicing Dzambhala is to eliminate the insecurity of financial worries so that one is not distracted by poverty and lack of funds. The best way to request help from the Dzambhala is by making continuous water offerings to him. If possible, do also try to simultaneously recite the appropriate mantras, and then the practice will be extremely powerful.

The best way to invoke the Tibetan Yellow Jambhala is to place him in a waterfall with continuous stream falling directly onto the crown of his head. This will attract lots of wealth and money luck for you. According to the sutras , Dzambhalas appeared in front of Buddha to protect Buddha from thrown rocks. The rocks hit White and Yellow Dzambhalas on their heads and hit Black Dzambhala on the stomach. Thus, White and Yellow Dzambhalas feel bliss when water offering is poured on their heads. This eases their pain. For the same reason, water should be poured onto Black Dzambhala’s stomach.

I haven’t got a water feature or fountain to place my Dzambhala but i heard that offering lemon and light will please yellow Dzambhala. The aroma of fresh lemon is purifying & uplifting, it’s another way of enhancing ones surrounding!

You could display the statue of the Dzambhala in your living room, main hall or offices facing the entrance for wealth luck; in good times, He brings prosperity; in bad times, He protects your family from poverty and provides financial stability.

One could also place Dzambhala in the wealth corner of the room ( left corner diagonal to the entrance ) or the SOUTHEAST section of the house.
