Hand-Carved Vajrasattva Mantra Practice Statue for Spiritual Guidance
Intricately handcrafted in our workshop, the traditional Vajrasattva mantra statue is full of unique Himalayan artistry. The statue is comprised of copper and gilded in gold with an antique finish that gives it a very classic look. The Bodhisattva is depicted sitting on a moon disc lotus seat in the lotus position, displaying his characteristic calm and serene demeanor. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, a ritual item that stands for the transience and stability of reality, and on his left, he holds a ritual bell, which symbolizes emptiness and the voice of enlightenment. It is a beautiful piece made by our artists after months of hard work, and the addition of jewels to the statue only beautifies the statue more.
This piece is an excellent souvenir for any devotee like yourself and can be used in your daily practices and activities of meditation and yoga.

Vajrasatva 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.
