The Great Purifier, Vajrasattva(Dorje Sempa) Statue
About Our Statue :
The Great Purifier, Vajrasattva(Dorje Sempa), is shown holding a bell in his left hand at his hip and a Vajra in his right hand at his chest in the statue. The bell represents wisdom, whereas the vajra represents compassion. He sits peacefully, legs crossed, atop a lotus seat on a moon disc. The lotus seat means how he remained in this impure cycle of samsara to benefit sentient beings while remaining unaffected by its flaws.
Vajrasattva is an early Vajrayana Buddhist practice essential to Shingon Buddhism. He is a magnificent manifestation of Vajradhara.
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.
