Vasudhara
Vasudhārā, whose name means "stream of gems" in Sanskrit, is the Buddhist bodhisattva of wealth, prosperity, and abundance. She is popular in many Buddhist countries and is a subject in Buddhist legends and art. Originally an Indian bodhisattva, her popularity has spread to southern Buddhist countries. Her popularity, however, peaks in Nepal where she has a strong following among the Buddhist Newars of the Kathmandu Valley and is thus a central figure in Newar Buddhism.〔Pratapaditya, Pal. (1985) Art of Nepal. p. 32〕 She is named Shiskar Apa in Lahul and Spiti.
Her mantra is ''oṃ Vasudhāre svāhā''.
== Buddhist water libation ==
In Burmese Buddhism, the water ceremony, called ''yay zet cha'', which involves the ceremonial pouring of water from a glass into a vase, drop by drop, concludes most Buddhist ceremonies including donation celebrations and feasts. This ceremonial libation is done to share the accrued merit with all other living beings in all 31 planes of existence. While the water is poured, a confession of faith, called the ''hsu taung imaya dhammanu'', is recited and led by the monks. Then, the merit is distributed by the donors, called ''ahmya wei'' by saying ''Ahmya ahmya ahmya yu daw mu gya ba gon law'' three times, with the audience responding ''thadu'', Pali for "well done." The earth goddess Vasudhara is invoked to witness these meritorious deeds.〔 Afterward, the libated water is poured on soil outside, to return the water to Vasudhara.
