Carefully Sculpted 24K Gold Vajrasattva Deity Copper Statue | Tibetan Protector Buddha
This carefully crafted 13.4" Gold Vajrasattva Deity symbolizes the transformational power of eliminating Tibetan Buddhism. Vajrasattva, regarded as a deity who helps remove emotional impurities, is crucial in Vajrayana activities aimed at purifying the mind and removing negative acts. This gold-gilded statue, crafted of copper with detailed gold and acrylic details, is 13.4 inches (34 cm) tall and 10.6 inches (27 cm) at the base and weighs 3.79 kg. It is both a symbol of divine protection and an effective instrument for spiritual purification and attention.
Vajrasattva's symbols indicate his admired status as the deity of cleansing. In his right hand, he holds a vajra (thunderbolt) at his heart, representing eternal wisdom and compassion. His left-hand holds a bell at his side, which represents wisdom and the ultimate truth. These symbols represent a harmonious combination of intelligence and compassion, two characteristics required for enlightenment. The lotus throne on where he sits represents purity and detachment from worldly pollutants.
Vajrasattva, adorned with a stunning five-pronged crown, represents the transformation of the five essential negative emotions into enlightened insight. His tranquil look, set complemented by jewelry and ornaments, inspires practitioners to create a quiet, sympathetic heart. Devotees visualize Vajrasattva as seeking protection, healing, and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. This monument serves as a work of art and an inspiring symbol of the way to spiritual purity.

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.
