Long, long ago, before the idea called history evolved, there existed a genderless entity called the Adi-Buddha or Primordial Buddha. From 'Him' emerged the duality which was to be the potential progenitor of all creation. This dual element is visualized in Buddhist aesthetics either as the deity Vajrasattva or Vajradhara. The significant characteristic common to them is the bell (female) and thunderbolt (male), which they hold in their hands. These deities are believed to be two expressions of the same principle, and the wellspring of all creation.


Seated in padmasana on a lotus pedestal is Vajrasattva. Sattva means a 'sentient being,' and vajra of course is the quintessential symbol of Tibetan Buddhism, representing its indestructible power. His right hand holds a five-pronged vajra, which symbolizes the five Dhyani Buddhas. Here it is interesting to observe that Vajrasattva is considered by some to be the sixth Dhyani Buddha and the priest of the group. His left hand is placed on the corresponding thigh, holding a vajra-ghanta (bell). When paired with each other, these two ritual implements take on an added significance. The vajra represents the compassion of the Buddha, the masculine principle; and the bell symbolizes wisdom, the female principle. To achieve creative enlightenment, these two elements must be combined. The bell is visualized as the Buddha's body, the vajra as his mind. The sound of the bell is believed to be the Buddha's speech in teaching of the dharma.


During meditation on Vajrasattva, a vajra is placed on the chest of the practitioner, meaning that Vajrasattva is brought to the meditator, and they become one and inseparable. Ringing a bell then represents the sound of Buddha teaching the dharma and symbolizes the attainment of wisdom and the understanding of emptiness.


Vajrasattva's body is slender and lissom. There is a sacred mark between the eyebrows, representing wisdom. His neck has folds, which are derived from the auspicious conch shell blown at Buddhist ceremonies, and which signify the sweetness of his own speech. The sensitive and thin lips lend a pleasant character to the facial expression, while the five-pronged crown and the numerous jewels adorning his from celebrate his pre-eminent status in the Buddhist pantheon.

Vajrasattva: The Purifier of Negativity

In Vajrayana Buddhism, Vajrasattva is revered as the embodiment of purity and the ultimate purifier. His name, meaning "Diamond Self," symbolizes his unshakeable nature and the indestructible essence of enlightenment. Legends tell of Vajrasattva's ability to dissolve negative karmic imprints and purify the mind, paving the way for spiritual growth and liberation. He is often invoked in purification practices to cleanse the mind of defilements, fostering a state of clarity and serenity. His presence is believed to inspire strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the path of enlightenment. Many spiritual practitioners use Vajrasattva mandalas and mantras to connect with this energy of purity and transformation. This statue serves as a powerful reminder of this energy, aiding in meditation and contemplation.

The Art of the Dhyani Buddhas

Vajrasattva, along with the other five Dhyani Buddhas, represents a fundamental aspect of Buddhist cosmology. The Dhyani Buddhas are not historical figures but emanations of the ultimate reality, representing specific qualities and attributes necessary for enlightenment. The Dhyani Buddhas are often depicted in a serene meditative posture, symbolizing the attainment of Nirvana, the state of liberation from suffering. Their representations in art, including this magnificent statue, are intended to help visualize these supreme states of being and cultivate inner peace and wisdom. The symbolic elements used in their iconography hold deep spiritual significance, guiding the viewer on their path to spiritual realization.

A Timeless Masterpiece for Your Sacred Space

It's a powerful reminder of the potential for purity, transformation, and the attainment of enlightenment that resides within each of us. The detailed craftsmanship and imposing presence will evoke the profound feelings of peace and wisdom that Vajrasattva represents, a reminder that purity is always attainable with diligent effort.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
