There are five different colors manifestation of wealth Dzambhala, the Yellow, Red, Green, White and the Black. Each has their own practice and mantra to help eliminate poverty and create financial stability.

The legend of pouring water on a statue of Zambhala.
Legend has it, when Buddha Sakyamuni was teaching Maha Prajna-Paramita Sutra , Devadatta is overwhelmed envy hurled stones to Buddha . However, the stone hit the head of White Dzambhala, Yellow and Black Dzambhala stomach. The Buddha then went and to and blessed all the Dzambhalas; flowing substance of his wisdom, compassion, and love is white, like nectar, and touching the head Dzambhala. Dzambhala feel very happy, joyful, peaceful, and free from defilement and restrictions, as well as to heal.
Dzambhala immediately bowed to the Buddha and grateful. Buddha Sakyamuni said to him, "As I am already healed you and myself had poured the nectar of this holy unto you, in the future, if one of my students who invoke strength and pour water over your head - bless them with wealth, give them two types wealth, material wealth and spiritual wealth, especially the more important is the spiritual wealth.

Aspiration For Bodhichitta
For those in whom the precious Bodhichitta has not arisen
May it arise and not decrease
But increase further and further.
Dedication of Merit
By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.
Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.
May we liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.
With its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
