Vajrasattva, known as the "Diamond Being," is a central figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, revered for his role in purification practices. He embodies the purity of mind and the transformative power of the Vajra, symbolizing the union of compassion and wisdom that leads to enlightenment. When depicted in union with his consort, Vajrasattva represents the inseparable bond of these two fundamental aspects of the spiritual path. This union, known as Yab-Yum, is a powerful symbol in Tantric Buddhism, illustrating the perfect harmony of method and wisdom, the masculine and feminine principles, essential for the realization of enlightenment.
