Eight Zodiac Guardians – Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (普贤菩萨
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (普贤菩萨) is the designated zodiac guardian for those born in the year of the Dragon (1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) and the Snake (1965, 1977, 1989, 2001). His name, translating to “universal worthiness”, alludes to the all-encompassing righteousness and virtue so closely associated with this venerated deity.
In certain Buddhist traditions, Samantabhadra is often depicted flanking Gautama Buddha alongside Manjusri Bodhisattva (zodiac guardian of the rabbit). This trinity of deities is associated with different key aspects of Buddhism: Manjusri with wisdom, Gautama Buddha with enlightenment and lastly, Samantabhadra with action.
As one of the principal bodhisattvas, Samantabhadra is omnipresent and enables the control of time, places and physical conditions — blessings which are bestowed upon his devotees, empowering them to design, construct, and manifest their destinies into reality.
