In [[Japanese Buddhism]], the '''Four Guardian Gods''', also known as the Four Kings of Heaven, are [[Jikokuten]] (持國天, also 治國天), protector of the east; [[Zojoten]] (増長天), protector of the south; [[Komokuten]] (廣目天), protector of the west; and [[Tamonten]] (多聞天, also known as Bishamon or 毘沙門, protector of the north and ruler of the yakshas). They all serve [[Taishakuten]] (帝釈天), deity of the center and report to him on the moral condition of the world. |
