24K Gold Style Original Hand Painted Vajrasattva Thangka
In Tibetan, Buddhism Vajrasatva is associated with the sambhogakāya and purification practice.
In the Shingon Buddhist lineage, Vajrasatva is traditionally viewed as the second patriarch, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, he relates a story based on Amoghavajra's account that Nagarjuna met Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India. Vajrasatva initiated Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ritual and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had learned from Vairocana Buddha, as depicted in the Mahavairocana Sutra. Kukai does not elaborate further on Vajrasatva or his origins.
His left hand holds a bell , which rests on his hip , this is an expression of his compassion.The hundred-syllable mantra associated with him is used in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism for purification of the mind.
