Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: “If I Do Not Enter Hell, Who Will?”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, also known as Dizang Wang Bodhisattva, is a Bodhisattva with a great spirit of sacrifice. He is honored as one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism, together with Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

According to records, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is usually depicted wearing a kasaya robe covering the left shoulder, seated peacefully on a lotus throne. He commonly holds a monk’s staff and a wish-fulfilling jewel in his hands. The monk’s staff symbolizes protecting and caring for all living beings, while the jewel represents the wishes and hopes of sentient beings.

The sacred beast beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the famous “Diting.” The mythical beast Diting usually lies beside the Bodhisattva and is said to possess the ability to distinguish the good and evil of all living beings throughout the world.

Regarding the origin of the name “Ksitigarbha,” the Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra records that he is “steady and unmoving like the earth, and his deep contemplation is like a hidden treasury.” Taking the final character from these two phrases forms the name “Dizang” (Ksitigarbha).

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Original Vow Sutra says that Ksitigarbha was originally the daughter of a Brahmin woman. Because her mother believed in false teachings and disrespected the Three Jewels, after death her soul fell into the Avici Hell and suffered greatly.

The daughter sincerely prayed and hoped to help her mother escape from the suffering of hell. Her sincerity moved the Tathagata, and with the Buddha’s help, she was able to visit hell in a dream to see her mother.

After arriving in hell, the King of Ghosts told her that because of her filial devotion, the sins of her deceased mother had already been removed. Her mother had now escaped from hell and no longer suffered punishment.

After awakening from the dream, the daughter gave rise to a great compassionate vow. Before the Buddha, she swore:

“May I, throughout endless future ages, help all living beings escape evil karma and suffering. I will use every possible means to help the souls suffering in hell gain liberation.”

Using this vow as her foundation, after many lifetimes and countless cycles of cultivation and reincarnation, the daughter finally attained enlightenment and became Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
