Vajrasattva is revered in Buddhist teachings as the embodiment of purity and the Dharmakaya's primordial purity. He is frequently shown carrying a vajra (thunderbolt) and a bell, which represent the two foundations of Buddhist practice: compassion and wisdom. The appearance of Vajrasattva in Buddhist art serves as a reminder of the importance of confession and purification on the path to enlightenment, providing a mechanism to clear karmic impediments and nurture spiritual growth.
