大白伞盖佛母是印藏佛教万神殿中著名的女神，被赋予了一切诸佛菩萨的慈悲与力量，因而深受汉藏两地信众的喜爱和崇奉。大白伞盖佛母在藏传佛教传入内地之初就得到了元皇室最强烈地追奉。皇室成员的极力推崇，使大白伞盖佛母的崇拜仪式、相关经典在内地空前丰富和流行。到了清代，大白伞盖佛母以皇室福寿神的身份居清宫众神之林，并为其建寺、塑像、刻经等，在宫廷产生了较大影响。这种影响在清宫的存在和发展是以皇室祈求世寿绵长、福运常驻信仰要求为基础，更是章嘉、六世班禅、哲布尊丹巴等藏传佛教领袖积极推动和宣传的结果。 

据《大白伞盖经》所述，此尊有大威力，大功能，大智能，能以佛之净德覆盖一切，以白净大慈悲遍覆法界。若能如法修持，则能令有情解脱一切系缚，亦能回遮一切灾祸。关于大白伞盖佛母的起源，相传六道中阿修罗居住地——非天与天界相隔处有棵神树，天人向此树祈愿必能如其所望，阿修罗见状大起怨恨，聚众攻打天人。天人偶有不敌，帝释往求释迦牟尼佛加持，佛化为大白伞盖佛母，千面千臂巨大无比，阿修罗众惊避逃奔。
