Yellow Jambhala manifests as the generousity and abundance aspect of Buddha Ratnasambhava, who is the Buddha of the illustrious Jewel Family. His practices help us in two ways:
-Stability in our life conditions allows us to practice Dharma. We practice Dharma with the ultimate goal of benefiting all sentient beings, including ourselves
-Stability encourages generosity and the urge to help others and to support the spread of Buddha Dharma. Generosity, in turn, is the opponent of Greed (Sanskrit Raga), one of Three "poisons" in Buddhism

Four of the Jambhalas arise from the Cosmic Buddha Families and one arises from Avalokiteshvara. They share the mission of Bodhichitta Prosperity, helping provide Buddhists with a stable environment to encourage generous and loving practices.

Yellow Zambala emanates from Ratnasambhava of the Southern Jewel Buddha Family. Green Jambhala arises from Amoghasiddhi of the Karma family. Red Jambhala arises from the Padma or Lotus Family. Black Jambhala arises from the Vajra family. White Jambhala, arises from the compassion of Avalokiteshvara.
