Traditionally Hand-Carved Copper Statue of Vajrasattva
We hand-carved the Vajrasattva copper statue in our studio with the craftsmanship skill passed down to us for generations. This sculpture was crafted using an oxidized copper body with intricate designs carved into the figure's body, highlighting the statue's details. Vajrasattva is also known as Dorje Sempa in Tibetan. The deity is seated on the top of a moon disc on a lotus holding a vajra with his hand and a bell with his left hand. He has a tranquil facial expression. You can use this figurine for different Buddhist Rituals and meditational practices.

Vajrasattva 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.
