The Jambhupati Buddha is a particular form of Buddha venerated in Theravada Buddhism, particularly in Burma. According to legend, Jambhupati was a powerful and arrogant king, whom the Buddha transformed into a humble monk to teach him compassion and impermanence. This story symbolizes spiritual transformation and the importance of humility in Buddhism. Representations of Jambhupati are often revered to invoke protection and prosperity.
