To achieve wealth and prosperity, it is necessary to recite the Dzambala mantra, which is a prayer of monetary wealth. Buddhist monks consider this deity to be the kindest, most generous and wise. In Tibet, it is believed that the Buddha bestows any spiritual and material benefits to every devoted monk, and the rest of the people will need to practice daily mantra recitation. According to ancient Indian legend, Dzambala was not a deity, but was appointed by the god Brahma, the keeper of divine treasures that are the personification of the stability and wealth of the universe. If you want to get financial stability and prosperity from life, you need to practice regularly reciting sacred prayers to the Yellow Deity.

In Buddhism, there are 5 gods of Dzambala, which differ from each other in color, character and attitude towards people. There is Black, Yellow, White, Red and Green Dzambala, but it is customary to turn to the Yellow deity for prosperity and wealth.

In Buddhism, there is a Vajrasattva mantra, which is also called a hundred-syllable. This mantra is miraculous, and its power was used by monks in ancient times in those cases when they needed cleansing in violation of this vow. The hundred-syllable mantra is the personification of the variety of forms of how energy can manifest itself on the spiritual and physical plane. The power of the Vajrasattva mantra is so high that it is compared to a lightning strike; it is able to reveal even very strong karmic blocks, cleansing a person's soul of negativity and sins.The immutable law of karmic retribution never fails, just like that karmic dirt does not disappear, moreover, it can also get worse. A person is not sinless, over time mental dirt accumulates in his subtle bodies and complicates life, to one degree or another.

To purify yourself and change your life for the better, you must recite the hundred-syllable mantra of Vajrasattva.
