The natal Buddha for people born in the Year of the Snake is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is known in the world as the King of the Ten Great Vows. According to Buddhist scriptures, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is the right attendant of Sakyamuni Buddha, and together with Manjushri Bodhisattva, the left attendant of the Buddha, they are collectively known as the "Three Holy Ones of Avatamsaka Sutra". In contrast to Manjusri's wisdom and attainment, Samantabhadra represents the principle and practice of all Buddhas, that is, he represents "virtue" and "practice". In terms of virtue, Samantabhadra is said to have the virtue of prolonging life; in terms of practice, Samantabhadra is said to have made ten great vows to do his best to spread Buddhism. Therefore, his honorific title is Samantabhadra the Great Practitioner.
