Traditional Tibetan Hand Carved Artwork Of Red Vajrasattva
Using traditional Himalayan art, the Traditional Dorje Sempa Practice Statue is hand-carved in our studio. We used a copper body to cut the figurine and gilded it with real 24-karat gold. The deity has a tranquil look as he sits on a moon disc lotus. In his right hand, Dorje Sempa is clutching a Vajra close to his chest, and in his left, he is carrying a bell at hip level. The vajra represents compassion, while the bell represents knowledge. There are magnificent hand carvings all around the body. The elaborate artistic patterns were hand-carved using a hammer and tiny chisels. Artists must have years of skill since delicate carvings require them to carve out elaborate designs on a small surface. The statue weighs about 9 kg, which took us months and months of hard work to complete molding.
This figurine of Vajrasattva 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.

Vajrasatva is typically regarded as 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.
