Zhakilham, the Principal Deity, the Fierce Goddess of Wealth This Thangka depicts the principal deity of Zhakilham. Zhakilham is the Goddess of Wealth within the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon, revered as a worldly protector deity primarily enshrined at the Lhasa Zhaki Monastery. There are two main beliefs regarding her origin: One perspective holds that Zhakilham is a native protector deity of the Tibetan regions. Another suggests she is an emanation of Lhajinima Sunu. In her past life, she was a favored concubine of an emperor, possessing both beauty and talent. Due to jealousy, she was murdered, her spirit lingering until guided by a high monk to embrace Buddhism. She later followed the monk, undertaking spiritual cultivation and establishing the present-day Zhaki Monastery en route to Sera Monastery, where she receives offerings from devotees. Many business people visiting Lhasa make pilgrimages to Zhaki Monastery, experiencing enhanced prosperity. To this day, Zhaki Monastery is recognized as Lhasa's most efficacious temple for wealth deities, and Zhakilham has become the renowned Goddess of Wealth.
