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. --------------------------------------------------------- Size: 15cm(Height) and 11cm(Base) Weight: 0.810 kg ---------------------------------------------------------
