Traditional Dorje Sempa Practice Statue
The Traditional Dorje Sempa Practice Statue is entirely hand-carved here in our studio using traditional Himalayan art. We carved the figurine using a copper body and then gilded it with 24-karat real gold. The deity has a serene expression as seated on a moon disc lotus. Dorje Sempa is holding a Vajra close to his chest in his right hand and a bell at hip level in his left hand. The bell symbolizes wisdom, while the vajra stands for compassion. On the body, there are exquisite hand carvings. The rare stones and gemstones on the lotus seat, robe, crown, halo, and lotus seat makes this statue look stunning. It took months and months of hard work with full devotion to complete the statue.
This figurine will be a perfect gift from Nepal to a devotee like you that will aid you in your practices and regular activities such as meditation and yoga.

Vajrasattva is the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, based on Amoghavajra's testimony. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't go into detail on Vajrasatva or his beginnings.
