Vajrasattva, also known asDorje Sempa in Tibetan, is a revered figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, embodying the principle of purification. He is considered the purifier of negative karma and mental obscurations, guiding practitioners toward spiritual transformation and enlightenment. Often depicted as a serene figure seated in full lotus position, Vajrasattva holds a vajra (symbolizing indestructible wisdom) in his right hand and a bell (representing the ultimate truth of emptiness) in his left. His role is essential in tantric practices, where he is invoked for purification rituals. Vajrasattva’s compassion and wisdom are central to his function as a guide for clearing away the obstacles that prevent practitioners from realizing their true nature and achieving enlightenment.
