Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is known for his vow to "not attain Buddhahood if hell is not empty", so he is often seen as the Bodhisattva of hell beings or the Patriarch of the ignorant realm.

His right hand holds the scepter to open the door of hell, the left hand holds a glowing gem that symbolizes light dispels darkness. He is also the Bodhisattva for children, protecting the spirits of children or the stillborn fetus.

The Bodhisattva mantra:

Om Ha Ha Ha Win Sam Mo Ti So Ha
