Traditionally Sculpted Vajrasattva Mini Sculpture
We have used the machine to carve the copper body of the mini Vajrasattva statue and gilded with 24k genuine gold over the body. The carving of the body is highlighted with acrylic paint done by hand. You can use this mini statue for various purposes like home decor and Buddhist occasions. We have depicted Vajrasattva seated atop a moon disc lotus seat, holding a bell in his left hand and a vajra in his right hand. The statue's small size makes it convenient to travel while engaging in frequent meditation practices.

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.
