Classic Bodhisattva Vajrasattva Statue for Meditative and Religious Purpose
The Vajrasattva statue is an intricately handcrafted piece produced in our studio and designed with unique Nepali motifs. This statue was hand carved by traditionally trained Vajrayan artists in our studio. It is partially gilded in gold and silver, resulting in its final magnificent look. The Bodhisattva is shown seated on a moon disc lotus seat in the lotus position, in his typically calm and tranquil state. He can be seen holding a bell in his left hand, which represents emptiness and the sound of wisdom, and a vajra, a ritual item, in his right hand, which represents the impermanence and constancy of reality. The statue is beautifully painted with acrylic colors and adorned with precious gemstones like turquoise, enhancing its beauty.
This statue's beautiful detailing and gold gilding are sure to capture the eye and add a sense of peace and tranquility to any setting. Add this Vajrasattva statue to your shrine, or gift it to a devotee yourself for daily Buddhist rituals and activities.

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.
