  No.. Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) is not a deity, and he is not a judge governing hell. He is there to guide and save sentient beings from the sufferings of hell.

  Regarding the differences between Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Deities, I posted this elsewhere:

  
  In Buddhism, Buddha and bodhisattvas are not gods, because gods are still among the 6 realms of existence. Buddha have transcended the 6 realms, and he is the teacher of Gods and Men. He is higher than every single unenlightened sentient being whether men or gods still transmigrating within the 6 realms of samsara, and he is free from all sufferings.
  
  As Buddhists, we all strive to attain the same enlightenment as the Buddha, the same liberation the Buddha has attained.
  
  Thus, we do not worship him as if he is a deity -- instead, we treat the Buddha as our teacher, whom we hope to achieve and reveal ourselves, as our innate Buddha Nature is already complete but temporarily obscured. However, we do pay our respects by prostrating and bowing to the Buddha.

  Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings on the path to perfect Buddhahood, they have attained enlightenment and liberation but did not enter into their personal nirvana like an arhat, but instead practices the bodhisattva way and saves numberless sentient beings out of great compassion.
  
  Back to the deities.
  
  Deities or gods are of different kinds, some so called deities are actually powerful spirits but belonging to the ghost realm and are worshipped by some people (not Buddhists however). Some deities live in the celestial/heaven realm, but even though they have a long lifespan they will eventually die and be reborn again to various different realms according to his karma. The deities and gods take Buddha as their teacher as well.

  If one is morally upright and have confidence in oneself, one shall not be harmed from demon. So you need no protection.

  In the Chinese/Taoist tradition, the Deity that is in charge of the underworld is 东岳大� (Lord of the Eastern Mountains), not Earth Store Bodhisattva.

   

  In Buddhism, the only 'judge' is the person's own kamma and a person reborn due to his/her own kammic strengths.

   

  In Chinese/Taoist traditin, the Deity-in-charge will then judge a person's merits and demerits and then decide on the person's rebirth. Sometimes, they will give the decease a chance to redeem for their misdeeds.

   

  Very different idealogy. Don't mix.

  Extracted from my forum(Bodhi Hut Buddhism forum)

  http://bodhihut.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=218

  This is the mantra that Ksitigarbha heard from Buddhas equaling the number of sand grains of the river Ganga. He made offerings to them and then received this mantra. This mantra is to be used for any difficulties, problems; it is the best one to do for any problems in any situation. Even reciting four or five times, just a few times, it is very powerful. It is powerful to recite or just to think of the name of the bodhisattva. It is very, very powerful.
