As we can see, Vajrasattva is sitting in the vajra posture (also known as the lotus position), with legs crossed. He wears a crown and is adorned with jewelry, signifying his status as a sambhogakaya buddha. He is holding vajra (thunderbolt/diamond scepter) in his right hand, held near his heart, and a ghanta (bell) in his left hand, resting on his thigh. The vajra symbolizes skillful means and activity, while the bell symbolizes wisdom and emptiness. Together, they represent the union of wisdom and compassion, which is the essence of enlightenment.
