Vajrasattva, revered as the deity of purification, holds a vajra in his right hand and a bell in his left, symbolizing the union of skillful means (upāya) and transcendent wisdom (prajñā). His presence aids practitioners in purifying negative karma and defilements. Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of wisdom, brandishes the flaming sword to cut through ignorance and delusion. At the same time, in his left hand, he holds the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra atop a lotus, representing the profound wisdom that realizes emptiness (śūnyatā). Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life and a form of Amitabha, cradles the vase of immortality in his lap, representing vitality, longevity, and the nectar of enlightenment. Finally, Green Tara, the swift savior and embodiment of enlightened activity, sits with her right leg extended, ready to act. She performs the Three Jewels Mudra with her right hand, offering refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, while her left hand holds a blue lotus (utpala), symbolizing purity and compassion in action. Together, these five figures represent the enlightened mind's wisdom, compassion, purity, vitality, and dynamic engagement with the world.

Green Tara is the dynamic and swift-acting female Bodhisattva of compassionate action. She is known as the "Mother of all Buddhas" and is invoked for her immediate assistance in overcoming fear, danger, and inner turmoil. With her right leg extended, she is ever-ready to step into the world and aid beings. Her iconography expresses fearless compassion, and her mantra is chanted for protection, success, and swift guidance on the spiritual path.
Chenrezig, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. He is one of the most beloved figures in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism and is believed to hear the cries of all beings and respond with unconditional mercy. Regarded as the spiritual progenitor of the Dalai Lama, Chenrezig is invoked to cultivate lovingkindness and alleviate suffering in all realms.
Vajrasattva is the principal deity associated with purification practices in Vajrayana Buddhism. He embodies purity and represents the pristine state of mind free from obscurations and negative karma. Through the recitation of his 100-syllable mantra, practitioners purify defilements and prepare their minds for deeper realization. Vajrasattva is often visualized in meditation to cleanse both body and mind of karmic impurities.
Manjushri is the Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom (Prajñā), venerated for his insight into the true nature of reality. He symbolizes the clarity and sharpness of awakened wisdom, which cuts through ignorance like a sword. Often depicted as a youthful figure with a flaming sword and a lotus bearing the Prajñāpāramitā sūtra, Manjushri is especially honored in scholarly and monastic traditions as the patron of intellectual and spiritual insight.
