Standing on top of the Columbarium is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is well known for His great vows. "Ksiti" or "Earth", symolises the ability to influence beings to cultivate forebearance and equanimity like the great Earth. "Garbha" or "Treasure" symbolises the ability to help beings cultivate merits.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vowed to alleviate all beings, especially Hell beings, from their suffering. According to the Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, if there are beings who have accumulated little merits, ending up in the Hell realm due to misdeeds, the compassionate Bodhisattva will use the power of the Dharma to help them be reborn in the higher realms, so as to be able to practise the Dharma better.
