길상천

Also known as Kichijōten

Śrīmahādevī, (Chinese: 吉祥天, pinyin: Jíxiángtiān, romaji: Kichijōten or Kisshōten, lit: "Auspicious Devi"), also known as Lakshmi (Chinese: 功德天, pinyin: Gōngdétiān, romaji: Kudokuten, lit: "Meritorious Devi"), is a devi in Mahayana Buddhism. She is particularly respected in East Asian Buddhist traditions as a protector deity due to her appearance in the Golden Light Sutra where she introduced her mantra and made vows to protect any bhikṣu who will uphold and teach the sutra.
