The Yellow Jambhala, known in Tibetan as Tsangla Serpo, is one of the five Wealth Gods and is considered the foremost among them. It is said that the Yellow Jambhala was originally an accomplished Bodhisattva. When Shakyamuni Buddha was teaching at Vulture Peak in central India, various demons and spirits caused disruptions, shaking the earth and causing landslides and river breaches. At this time, the Yellow Jambhala courageously appeared to protect the monks, ensuring their safety. Later, Shakyamuni Buddha instructed the Yellow Jambhala to take refuge in Buddhism and benefit all impoverished beings, thus becoming a great guardian deity of Buddhism.

黄财神，藏名藏拉色波，为五姓财神之一，位居诸财神之首。据说，黄财神原先是一位有所成就的菩萨。当年，释迦牟尼佛在中印度摩陀国的灵鹫山说法，各方的妖魔鬼怪前来捣乱，使大地撼动，山崩河裂。正在这时，黄财神奋勇现身庇护，使得众多的闻法比丘安然无恙。后来，释迦牟尼佛嘱黄财神皈依佛法，利益一切贫苦众生，使之成为佛教的大护法神。

This deity is golden yellow in colour, with one face and two arms, a slightly angry expression, short and stout with a large belly. His right hand, in the gesture of granting wishes, rests on his knee, holding a Cintamani jewel, and his left hand holds a mongoose spitting jewels, symbolizing the bestowal of wealth to beings and fulfilling their needs, which is a key identifying feature. He is adorned with celestial garments, blue lotus flowers, and jewelled ornaments, wearing an Upala necklace. His left leg is bent, and his right foot steps on a conch shell treasure, seated in a wish-fulfilling posture on a lotus moon disk.

此尊身金黄色，一面二臂，面容微愠，矮壮肚大。右手施与愿印搁放于膝盖上，掌心握住一枚布拉噶如意宝，左手托一只吐宝鼠鼬，意为施予众生财富，满足需要，这也为其重要的辨识标志。身着天衣，蓝莲花及珠宝璎珞作装饰，身挂乌巴拉念珠。左腿屈，右足踩着海螺宝，以如意姿安坐于莲花月轮之上。

According to Buddhist scriptures, practicing the Yellow Jambhala's teachings and reciting his mantra can invoke his protection, leading to longevity, increased merit and wisdom, abundant wealth, and relief from poverty. Practitioners of the Yellow Jambhala's teachings should develop supreme Bodhicitta, diligently practice generosity, form good relationships, and vow to save all beings from poverty. By cultivating such intentions, one's merit becomes boundless, and the practice of the Wealth God teachings can lead to complete prosperity.

据佛经说，修持黄财神法，持诵其密咒，可得到黄财神的庇佑，能延年益寿，使福德和智慧均得以增长，财源茂盛，免除贫穷。修持黄财神法的人，需发无上菩提心，勤行布施，广结善缘，发愿救度一切众生脱离贫困，如此则福德更不可限量，以此发心来修财神法，才能够得到圆满富足。
