C2-020
In Esoteric Buddhism, the concept of the Zodiac Guardian Buddha (Benming Buddha) arises from the interaction of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, and the five elements—earth, water, fire, wind, and space. Based on these principles, eight Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were designated to protect the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. Therefore, they are called “Zodiac Guardian Buddhas,” also known as the “Eight Great Protectors.”
