Himalayan Style Gold-Gilded Statue For Vajrasattva Mantra Practice
About Our Statue :
In our studio, we hand-carved the statue for Vajrasattva Mantra Practice. As a Bodhisattva, his name translates to Diamond Being or Thunderbolt Being. Our depiction of him includes a bell in his left hand at hip level, symbolizing wisdom, and a vajra in his right hand near his chest, symbolizing compassion. He sits serenely with crossed legs atop a lotus seat, representing his ability to remain unstained by the faults of samsara despite his presence in this impure cycle for the benefit of sentient beings. The throne set is artistically hand-painted using acrylic paints. We are a group of artists dedicated to bringing sacred deities to life, and our craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
This meticulously hand-carved statue is perfect for your Vajrasattva Mantra Practice, reminding you of the Bodhisattva's teachings and principles.
Introduction To The Vajrasattva :
The first ancestor of the Shingon Buddhist lineage is Vairocana Buddha, and Vajrasattva is the second. Nagarjuna met Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, according to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, based on Amoghavajra's account. According to the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva gave Nagarjuna the esoteric teachings he had learned from Vairocana Buddha and initiated him into the abhiseka ritual.

How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
