Vajrasattva: Embodiment of Purification and Wisdom

Vajrasattva holds a significant place in the Vajrayana tradition, revered as the embodiment of purity and wisdom.

• Representation:
  • His body is white, signifying purity.
  • He has one face and two hands—the right hand holds a five-pronged vajra close to his heart, symbolizing compassion and wisdom.
  • The left hand holds a silver bell, representing emptiness and feminine wisdom.
  • He sits in the Vajraparyanka posture, adorned with precious silks, ornaments, and a jewel diadem.
  • His radiant body is marked by the features of a Sambhogakaya, emitting clear and limitless light.
• Father-Mother Aspect:
  Vajrasattva’s esoteric form with his consort is reserved for initiates of the Highest Yoga Tantra. His consort carries a kartika (ritual knife) and a kapala (skull cup), symbolizing the cutting of delusion and the offering of wisdom.

Vajrasattva represents the path of purification and the realization of ultimate truth in Vajrayana Buddhism.

2. Ceramic Shell Formation: The model is coated with layers of ceramic material to form a durable mold.
3. Wax Removal: The wax is melted and drained, leaving a cavity.
4. Metal Casting: Molten metal is poured into the mold, replicating the design.
