A brass statue, a tangible representation of profound spiritual significance. At 6.8 x 5.0 x 3.5 inches, this meticulously crafted piece invites contemplation and reverence into any space.

Deity of Purity

Vajrasattva, a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism, embodies the absolute purity of enlightened mind. In depictions, he is often shown holding a vajra (thunderbolt scepter) in his right hand, symbolizing skillful means and indestructible wisdom, and a bell in his left, representing emptiness and wisdom. Together, these objects represent the union of wisdom and compassion, crucial for achieving enlightenment. Meditating upon Vajrasattva and reciting his mantra is believed to purify negative karma, obscurations, and defilements. It is a powerful practice for transforming the mind and developing clear insight.

Symbolism in Form

This statue presents Vajrasattva in union with his consort. This embracing posture symbolizes the indivisibility of wisdom and compassion, the ultimate goal of enlightenment. The intricate details of the statue, from the deity’s ornate crown, adorned with precious jewels, to the lotus upon which they sit, all carry symbolic weight. The lotus, emerging from muddy waters, symbolizes purity arising from the defilements of samsara (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth). Considered within the context of Tibetan Buddhist practices, this statue serves not merely as an aesthetic object but as a sacred representation. It is a reminder of the potential for purification inherent within each individual and the possibility of achieving enlightenment through dedicated practice. This item can be an excellent choice for a mediation room or a gift for a spiritual practioner.
