The Eight Buddhist Protectors are associated with the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac calendar. Each deity is associated with a specific Zodiac animal and serves as the protector (guardian, patron) for all people born in that animal year. Among the eight, four guard the four cardinal directions while the other four guard the four semi-directions (the latter four are each associated with two animals, thus covering all 12 animals). It is believed if you solicit the protector related to your birth during times of obstacles, you can clear your problems faster. At many Japanese temples even today, visitors can purchase small protective amulets or carvings of their patron Buddhist-Zodiac deity. 

The Rabbit’s guardian deity is Manjushri whose miraculous energy helps eliminate disasters, lighten problems, attract good fortune and bring good health.

Manjushri (Wen-Shu Pusa in Chinese), which means Gentle Glory or Sweet Splendor, is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, who is one of the most important deities in the Buddhist pantheon. The Bodhisattva, shown seated in serene meditation, is associated with development of enlightened wisdom and awareness. He provides great power in clearing obstacles and inviting wealth from endless resources.
