Vajrasattva: The Adi-Buddha of Wisdom and Compassion
Vajrasattva is a revered figure in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, embodying the union of wisdom and compassion. Key features of this exquisite depiction:
- White body, adorned with the major and minor marks of a Sambhogakaya.
- Holds a golden vajra in the right hand (compassion) and a silver bell in the left (wisdom).
- Seated in the Vajraparyanka posture, wearing precious silks, ornaments, and a jeweled diadem.
- Radiates a clear, limitless light, symbolizing the absence of substantiality, like the moon’s reflection on water.
In its rare father-mother aspect (Yab-Yum), Vajrasattva and his consort depict the primordial union of wisdom and compassion, a profound concept in Tibetan and Nepalese art. The consort carries a kartika (ceremonial knife) and a kapala (skull cup), representing insight and transformation.
Shakti: The Symbol of Primordial Union
The Shakti Yab-Yum aspect is symbolic of the interpenetration of compassion and insight, represented by the male deity and his female consort. This depiction highlights the profound spiritual balance essential to Highest Yoga Tantra practices.
