hi, anyone knows where i could worship white dzambhala in singapore? Cheers
Jambhala is the wealth-giving form of Avalokiteśvara or Chenrezig, the bodhisattva of compassion.
Jambhala's blessings are to help others by eliminating poverty, so that they may practice the Dharma. There are five Jambhalas - Yellow Jambhala (overcomes pride), White Jambhala (overcomes attachment), Black Jambala (overcomes resentment), Green Jambhala (overcomes jealousy) and Red Jambhala (overcomes greed). For instance, the White Jambhala is shown sitting on a turquoise dragon and his left hand holds a mongoose that spews out precious jewels.
The teachings are found in sutras taught by Shakyamuni.
White Dzambhala :
White Dzambhala is born from the right eye of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva , also known as the manifistation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva . According to the sutra , his mantra can stop suffering , destroy bad karma and have a bodhi mind . His mantra can also avert disaster and sickness . He also bring wealth to all sentient being if he or her chants his mantra . In Tibetan , they name him " Dzambhala Gapee " meaning , white dzambhala
His Mantra Is :
Om Padma Trotha Arya Dzambhala Siddhaya Hum Phat
Pronouncation :
aum pe me jo ta a li ya zam ba la si da ya hom pe

i'm new to tibetan buddhism.... would like to explore more first.. perhaps anyone know any popular tibetan buddhist temple in singapore?
I am not really a Tibetan Buddhism guy, but the Famous Tibetan Temples that I know are Amitabha Buddhist Centre of the Gelug school at Aljunied, opposite the station, and Sakya Tenphel Ling at Pasir Ris.

thanks dude... will check it out. Btw, if there are any tibetan buddhism members here. you may drop me a msg to say hi, as i'm currently curious to find out more about their culture, teaching...etc. Cheers
Actually the temple in Beatty Lane has White Dzambala but just that it is covered up. And best thing is that it is open 24 hours.
actually white jambhala u can find in almost all tibetan temples in singapore,if u need any image or interest can contact me at thomas_fong69@hotmail.com.tae care
If i'm not wrong, the white dzambala in Beatty lane is the small white statue just in front of the door.... So far i've been to Beatty Lane and Pasir Ris drive 4 tibetan temples, they have yellow dzambala as the only biggest dzambala statue... is yellow dzambala the most popular dzambala in SG?
Thomas, white dzambala image and history i could find in the net....maybe you could help to name the tibetan temple in SG which also got white dzambala? thanks...
Hi Wongsanz !
Don't know if this helps ?1 Shangpa Rinpoche of Karma Kagyud did an Chintamani puja many years ago at Man Fut Lam many years ago . He began with a white Dzambala initiation so as to aid those wishing to practice the Chintamani practice. Maybe you can check out Karma Kagyud ?!
thanks weychin.. will check out their temple to see if they have white dzambhala statue. cheers!
