Ksitigarbha Practice: Devotion and Rituals in East Asian Buddhism

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's practice in East Asian Buddhism revolves around devotion and rituals aimed at alleviating suffering, particularly for beings in the afterlife realms. Followers often engage in chanting Ksitigarbha's mantra, "Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva," as a means of seeking his compassionate intervention and protection. Offerings of incense, flowers, and food are made at Ksitigarbha shrines, symbolizing gratitude and seeking blessings for deceased loved ones. Meditation on Ksitigarbha's virtues of unwavering compassion and commitment to relieving suffering also forms a core part of the practice, emphasizing the aspiration to emulate his selfless dedication to all sentient beings, especially those in need of spiritual guidance and solace in the afterlife.
