In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasattva is a highly revered figure who represents purity and the purification of negativity. Usually depicted wearing white, he holds a bell and a vajra, or thunderbolt, which symbolize the combination of compassion and wisdom. To rid themselves of problems and bad karma, devotees engage in purifying exercises, including chanting mantras and performing rituals. In these practices, the mantra "Om Vajrasattva Hum" is essential, as it is believed to cleanse the mind and spirit. The understanding of one's inherent purity and enlightened nature can be attained through inner transformation facilitated by meditating on Vajrasattva.
