About Our Statue:
We have meticulously hand-carved this classic oxidized copper statue of Vajrasattva in our studio. This Bodhisattva exudes a sense of peace and tranquility, seated on a moon disc lotus seat in the lotus position. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, symbolizing the constancy of reality, while in his left hand, he holds a ritual bell, representing emptiness and wisdom. Crafted with the utmost care and precision, this statue boasts intricate details.

This Vajrasattva statue is not just a work of art but a powerful spiritual symbol, representing the purification of negative karma and the transformation of impure thoughts and actions. It is an excellent addition to any sacred space or meditation practice.

Vajrasatva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, preceded by Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in the Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, as testified by Amoghavajra. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't provide detailed information on Vajrasatva or his origins.

Introduction To Vajrasattva :

In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasattva is revered as a figure of purity. He is frequently seen clutching a bell and a vajra, or thunderbolt, signifying the confluence of wisdom and compassion required for enlightenment. His mantra is often repeated as part of individual and group purification rituals, highlighting his role in helping followers maintain spiritual integrity and cleanliness.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a 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 objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
