Vajrasattva, the Great Purifier, embodies one of the most powerful and profound healing and purification techniques in Vajrayana Buddhism. Nepalese Buddhists regard him as the priest of the five Dhyani Buddhas. Vajrasattva is an Adi Buddha, a transcendent Buddha. His Tibetan name is Dorje Sempa.
Vajrasattva wears a five-pointed headdress, half a vajra as the top of his ushnisha, necklace, bangles and precious clothing. He holds the vajra in his right hand, palm up, in front of his chest, and the ghanta (bell) in his left hand, which rests on his left thigh. A band that represents a flowing heavenly silk cloth flows around his body. The figure sits in full vajra posture on a lotus throne (padmansana), whose petals are arranged in a simple row. The statue is decorated with filigree ornaments in the shoulder area, on the upper arms, the legs and the lotus pedestal. They are partly floral, partly geometric and accentuated with set colored stones.
Cast copper figure, traditional lost wax casting process, decorated with fine filigree, silver-plated and gold-plated, set with colored stones. Handmade in Nepal.
