Traditionally Hand-Carved Vajrasattva Mantra Practice Statue
Meticulously handcrafted in our workshop, this Vajrasattva mantra practice statue is intricately designed with unique Nepali patterns. This figure is comprised of fine-quality copper. The Bodhisattva is presented in his characteristic peaceful and serene state, sitting atop a moon disc lotus seat in a lotus posture. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, symbolizing the indestructible and unchanging nature of reality, and in his left hand, he holds a bell symbolizing emptiness and the sound of wisdom. The elaborate patterns were hand-carved using a hammer and tiny chisels. We used acrylic paint to decorate the statue's body, in this instance, giving the deity a beautiful white complexion. We also used it to draw attention to the deity's facial features. We have gold-plated the petals of the lotus seat, a silk scarf, body jewelry, a robe, and the headpiece. The robe, ornaments, and lotus seat all attest to the superb caliber of this figure. Beautiful colorful gemstones adorn the figure, giving it an element of luxury.
The statue is perfect for any devotee like yourself and can be used for various Buddhist rituals and activities like meditation and yoga.

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.
