Vajrasattva / Dorje Sempa Statue

 Vajrasattva – The Buddha of Purification

Vajrasattva, the   embodiment of unconditional kindness, is always portrayed with a gentle   face and a luminescent countenance. His practices are all related to   confession and purification, and he is the supreme remover of obstacles   for Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhists. It is said that of all the countless   methods to purify obscurations and negative karma, the practices of   Vajrasattva are the best. Through meditation and recitation related to   Vajrasattva, students can purify their minds in preparation for more   advanced Tantric practices. It is believed that all harmful acts can be   purified and all obscurations removed though sincere dedication to   Vajrasattva and his practices.

Gestures and Attributes

Vajrasattva holds the   Vajra (or Dorje) and Ghanta (or Bell), which together represent the   body, speech, and mind of the Buddha. In Tantric ritual, the Vajra is   held in the right hand and the bell is held in the left. The Vajra   represents the compassion of the Buddhas, the masculine principle, and   the bell represents wisdom, the feminine principle. To achieve   enlightenment, these principles must be combined. Used together in   ritual, the Vajra and Ghanta purify the surrounding space of negative   energies, and raise beneficial energy for positive work.
