Full Gold Style Vajrasattva Shakti with Consort
About Our Thangka
Full Gold Style Vajrasattva Shakti, commonly known as Dorje Sempa in Tibetan Buddhism, represents the enlightened mind in the form of a deity. Adorned in radiant gold attire, Vajrasattva embodies qualities of purity, compassion, and wisdom. He typically holds a vajra (thunderbolt) in his right hand, symbolizing skillful means, and a bell in his left hand, symbolizing wisdom.
In Tantric tradition, Vajrasattva is often depicted in union with his consort, known as Yab Yum, which translates to "father-mother" in Tibetan. Their union symbolizes the inseparable unity of wisdom and compassion, represented by the male and female energies coming together in harmonious balance.
The Full Gold Style portrayal accentuates the richness and purity of their enlightened state. The golden hue symbolizes not only their enlightened nature but also the preciousness and value of their union. It serves as a visual reminder for practitioners of the inherent potential for enlightenment within each being and the inseparability of wisdom and compassion in the journey toward liberation.
Introduction to Dorje Sempa
On the thangka we have Vajrasattva(Dorje Sempa). Vajrasatva is the esoteric aspect of the bodhisattva Samantabhadra and is commonly associated with the student practitioner who through the master's teachings, attains an ever-enriching subtle and rarefied grounding in their esoteric practice. The practice of Vajrasattva is done to cleanse and purify our negative karma.

How does mold damage a Thangka ?
A humid room without air circulation is the perfect environment for mold growth. If a thangka in such a room becomes damp or wet, mold will grow on it. This growth can badly damage the cloth, the pigment, and the binder. Molds form a fuzzy coating on the thangka.
