Himalayan Tibetan Statue For Vajrasattva Mantra Sanskrit Practice
This Vajrasattva Mantra Sanskrit Practice statue symbolizes the all-pervasive purity of body, speech, and intellect. Since its flawless body is wholly crafted of pure copper and then gilded with 24-karat genuine gold, it took our artists months to craft. In the statue, the deity is seen sitting on a lotus, looking serene, holding a bell in his left and a vajra in his right hand. We decorated the deity with jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and a crown of precious stones. To draw attention to the deity's expression, we used acrylic paints. The crown and the body ornaments are adorned with precious gemstones. The intricate design patterns are hand-carved using a hammer and chisels.
This statue of a Tantric Buddhist Deity has accurate traditional iconography and fine details and will be a perfect gift to a devotee like you from Nepal.

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.
