Traditionally Sculpted Dorje Sempa Meditation Statue
We, the master carvers of Nepal, who practice the centuries-old Buddhist Himalayan art of carving sacred statues, skilfully hand-carved Dorje Sempa Meditation Statue in our workshop. Copper was used for the statue's construction, and the intricate geometric patterns were highlighted by 24-karat natural gold leaf and acrylic paint. The deity is seen with a calm look while perched on top of a moon disc lotus seat. He has a bell in his left hand and a vajra in his right. We worked arduously for months to carve the copper body, which was then embellished with valuable corals and gemstones. The figurine weighs about 6.02 kg. The elaborate artistic patterns were hand-carved using a hammer and tiny chisels
As a gift from Nepal, this statue would make the ideal shrine for your meditation routine.

Vajrasattva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, based on Amoghavajra's testimony. 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 go into detail on Vajrasatva or his beginnings.
