Colorful Vajarasattva Thangka
There are different designs of thangka paintings representing Vajrasattva. He can be depicted in the single aspect sitting in a “vajra” pose as described in the Yoga Tantras, or with various peaceful or wrathful consorts.
In both representations, Vajrasattva holds with the right hand a gold vajra and a bell with the left hand. He is depicted leaning slightly to the left and his body is adorned with gold and jewels.
The thangka paintings of Vajrasattva are very important for the community of Newar Buddhists of the Kathmandu Valley as they worship this Bodhisattva as the perfect teacher during the Guru Maṇḍala puja.
The practice of Vajrasattva as a manifestation of Vajradhara is one of the earliest practices in Vajrayana Buddhism and in traditional Shingon Buddhism is considered a manifestation of Buddha Samantabhadra.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the hundred-syllable mantra of Dorje Sempa is very famous and regarded as having the ability to purify karma, bring peace during meditation practices and promote enlightenment.
