When all living beings have been saved, will I be saved
Bodhisattva Kshitigarbha
Kshitigarbha
Sanskrit: “Womb of the Earth”
Kshitigarbha is most commonly represented as a monk with a shaved head but with a nimbus and with the urna (tuft of hair) between his eyebrows. He is depicted carrying the clerical staff (khakkara) with which he forces open the gates of hell, together with the flaming pearl (chintamani) with which he lights up the darkness.
Because Kshitigarbha has the ability to manifest himself according to the needs of the suffering, he is frequently shown, especially in Japan, in six aspects, each relating to one of the six worlds of desires.
Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva is often referred to as the Bodhisattva of the Hell beings, because of his vow to not achieve Buddhahood until all hells are vacated.
His famous vow recited by many Buddhists is
"Not until the hells are emptied will I become a Buddha; Not until all beings are saved will I certify to Bodhi."
In addition to suffering souls in hell, the bodhisattva also helps living beings in other realms, for example: humans, celestial beings, plants, ghosts, animals and insects. He hopes that by teaching all these creatures, he will be able to them to end their constant suffering.
This is the mantra that Ksitigarbha heard from Buddhas equalling the number of sand grains of the river Ganga. He made offerings to them and then received this mantra. This mantra is to be used for any difficulties, problems; it is the best one to do for any problems in any situation.
Even reciting four or five times, just a few times, it is very powerful.

Praise by Buddha to Kshitigarbha You have generated stability of thought and pure thought (altruism / bodhicitta) and eliminated the sufferings of immeasurable sentient beings.
I see (sentient beings) receiving happiness like the wish granting jewel, and like the vajra you cut the nets of the doubt (of others). You offer the Destroyer, Qualified-Gone-Beyond-Ones holy offerings with great compassionate thought and perseverance. You liberate the sentient beings from the sufferings with oceans of wisdom. Because you have no fear (delusions), you have gone beyond samsara.
