God of Wealth 財神
財神 presides over wealth and prosperity. Light incense, make the offering, and recite the 黃財神心咒 — the Yellow Jambhala heart mantra, given in Chinese, Sanskrit and transliteration.
Oṃ — the Body, Speech & Mind of all Buddhas
Invokes 黃財神 Jambhala (Dzambhala), the Buddhist deity of wealth — the equivalent of Kubera. Recite 108×, visualizing golden light flowing from your heart into treasures for all beings: the wish is to lift every being out of poverty, not to hoard for yourself.
The Oracle of the Goddess of Mercy
The Guan Yin lot draw has its own dedicated, reverent hall — a quiet space with the bamboo lots, the mantra and the sacred slip. Out of respect, the ritual lives there, not here.

Support the Temple, Plant Merit
Giving to the temple plants seeds of fortune (種福田). Every offering lights a lamp in your name on the Wall of Faith.
Every offering is recorded in the merit register and a digital merit certificate is issued to the name you give.
Leave Your Mark of Devotion
Dedicate a tile with your name and wish. A Gold Plaque shines at the top of the wall.

Who 財神 is
The God of Wealth is not one figure but several. 趙公明 the martial Wealth God rides a black tiger and commands the four wealth marshals. 比干 the civil Wealth God was a minister famed for a heart with seven apertures. In Buddhist practice 黃財神 Yellow Jambhala serves a parallel role. This altar honours the tradition as it is actually practised, where the forms are often approached together.
His feast is the fifth day of the lunar new year, when 接財神 — receiving the God of Wealth — is performed at dawn.
Offerings and the mantra
Traditional offerings are oranges, sweets, tea and gold-coloured items. The 黃財神心咒 is given here in Chinese characters, in Sanskrit, and in a pronunciation guide, with licensed audio.
