karena dalam Vajra...hampir semua deity mereka itu katane selevel sama Sammasambuddha ...---_---"

Sol, setahu gw, dalam vajra pun masih ada pemahaman perbedaan tingkat Buddha, jd kaga semua dianggap sammasambuddha....
Dan dari yg gw baca, jambhala masih setingkat deva, tetapi, bertekad untuk menjadi dharmapala...
Dan klo yg gw tangkep, wealthy yang digembar-gemborkan itu, seperti efek samping yang justru disalah gunakan...Padahal tujuan awalnya hanya sebatas melindungi para pencari dharma...

Dan menurut gw, seperti pemujaan deity2 lain yang dikatakan akan memberikan efek2 seperti kaya dan sebagainya, hanya merupakan trigger atau membantu mengkondisikan, semuanya tetap aja kita yang berusaha...Apakah ini terasa seperti pemujaan kepada Sang Pemberi? Let's think about it..

According to the sutras, it is said that when Sakyamuni Buddha was saying the Maha Prajna-Paramita Sutra, some demon came to disturb the Buddha and wanted to create confusion. Just at that time, Yellow Dzambhala appeared in front of the Buddha and protected him. Upon seeing his courageous behavior, the Buddha asked Yellow Dzambhala if he wish to become a dharma protector and save the sentient beings. Yellow Dzambhala accepts the Buddha’s word and from then onwards, he protected the dharma and if anyone call his name, he will come and help that person. If one have trouble with finance or anything, one can chant the mantra of his and he will come and help. But one must have a bodhi mind and practice Buddhism properly to attain his blessings. One can also gain wealth, wisdom, intelligence and at last! Attain Buddhahood! The beneficence of the Yellow Jambhala is that his doctrine enables the follower to have good luck and Virtues, prolong his life, increase his intelligence and gain both material and spiritual benefits.
