VAJRASATTVA (known as Dorjé Sempa in Tibetan) is the primary deity related to the purification of one's Karma. HE is a bodhisattva affiliated primarily with the Buddha Akshobhya (Unshakeable) but in many contexts is identified conceptually with Vajradhara (Vajra Holder). Vajrasattva is traditionally depicted iconographically as white in color with one face and two hands. In his right hand he holds close to his heart a vajra (thunderbolt), representing the active means toward enlightenment, and in his left hand beside his left hip an upturned bell ("drilbu"), a symbol of emptiness and the perfection of wisdom (prajnaparamita). Lavishly attired in the colorful garments of a princely bodhisattva, he sits with legs crossed in the vajra posture (vajrasana) on a moon disk above a white lotus blossom. In some cases he is shown sitting with his right leg outstretched, and in others he is standing. He wears a crown often inscribed with an image of Akshobhya. From his richly adorned body, rays of light (often dark blue) radiate outward to form a golden halo adorned with wish-fulfilling jewels and an outer rainbow. In this way he represents the embodied essence of all the peaceful buddhas.

Hand-made in Kathmandu, Nepal, this 13" tall Vajrasattva statue is made of bronze and finished with partial gilding with face painted with pure gold.

Very beautiful and special. Limited quantites.
