Vajradhara / Dorjechang is the ultimate primordial Buddha according to the Gelug and Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and he is metaphysically equivalent to Samantabhadra in the Nyingma and Sakya traditions. Vajradhara is the Tantric form of Shakyamuni, as Shakyamuni appeared in the aspect of Vajradhara when he delivered the third Wheel of Law and set forth the Tantric path for his gifted disciples. Guru Tilopa is said to have received the Mahamudra instructions directly from Buddha Vajradhara through visions and other extraordinary means. Vajradhara represents the very essence of enlightened mind - achieving the "state of Vajradhara" is synonymous with complete realization. He is revered as both the revealer of mysteries and the mystery itself.
Buddha Vajradhara / Dorjechang is depicted holding a golden vajra in his right hand and a silver bell in his left. His arms are crossed in front of him expressing the complete integration of Prajna (wisdom) and upaya (skillful means). Although he is a Dharmakaya, or primordial, Buddha, he is usually represented iconographically in Sambhogakaya form adorned with beautiful garments, ornaments, and a crown, symbolizing his ability to ceaselessly benefit living beings by means of his emanations which pervade all worlds. It is believed that all the one hundred Buddha families can be condensed into the five Buddha families, which in turn are all held within the compassionate heart of Buddha Vajradhara.
This sculpture presents an enchanting depiction of Vajradhara, also known as Dorjechang. Crafted with exceptional artistry, it captivates with its beauty and precision. Fashioned from copper alloy using the esteemed lost wax method, it is adorned with a lavish gilding of 24-karat gold, enhanced by a meticulously hand-painted face. The sculpture's rich and sensuous finish is a testament to the masterful artistry involved. Its intricate carvings, seamlessly blended with vibrant color combinations, imbue the figure with a lifelike quality that is truly mesmerizing. Handcrafted individually in Patan, Nepal, by revered artisans of the Shakya clan, it stands as a tribute to centuries-old traditions in sacred artistry.
