The Sanskrit name for the White Umbrella deity is Ushnisha Sitatapatra which can also be translated as "The Victorious White Parasol." The White Umbrella Deity, [Skt. Sitatapatra, Tib. gdugs dkar] is a powerful female deity. She is relied upon for protection; healing illness; dispelling interferences, spirit possession, and harmful forces; quelling disasters; averting obstacles; and bringing auspiciousness.

Ushnisha Sitatapatra is a female form of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Like this Bodhisattva in an elaborate form, she also has a thousand eyes that watch over living beings, and a thousand arms that protect and assist them. Thus she symbolizes the power of active compassion.

One serious result of the tsunami that hit Japan in March was the damage to several nuclear reactors. Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave a list of advice for those concerned about the effects of radiation:

  • Wear protections of White Umbrella Deity and Lion Faced Dakini. These need to be made correctly and blessed.
  • Wear White Umbrella Deity text: This text can be reduced in size and worn respectfully on the body, such as in a small pouch around your neck. It could also be put on microfilm and worn like an amulet. If the text is reduced, the letters should still be clear. Read advice on wearing protection items.
  • Take the initiation of White Umbrella Deity.
  • White Umbrella Deity practice: this collection includes two practices, “The Supreme Accomplishment of Sitatapatra” and “Praises and Repelling Practices of Sitatapatra.”
