While Cundī is less well known in Tibetan Buddhism she is revered in Tángmì or East Asian esoteric Buddhism. In China she is known as Zhǔntà Púsà (Chinese: 準提菩薩 "Cundi Bodhisattva") or Zhǔntà Fómǔ (Chinese: 準提佛母 "Cundi Buddha-Mother") "Junje" in Korean while in Japan she is known as Jundei Kannon (准胝観音 Cundi Avalokiteśvara).
In late imperial China the early traditions of Tangmi were still thriving in Buddhist communities. Robert Gimello has also observed that in these communities the esoteric practices of Cundī were extremely popular among both the populace and the elite.Iconography Cundī is depicted with eighteen arms each wielding implements that symbolize upaya. Her eighteen arms also represent the eighteen merits of attaining Buddhahood as described in an appendix to the Cundī Dhāraṇī Sūtra.
