He has a vajra, which represents the impermanence and constancy of reality, in his right hand and a bell, which stands for emptiness and the sound of wisdom, in his left hand. The statue is full of intricate patterns and motifs that our artists carved out with hammers and chisels over the course of several months.

Vajrasattva 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.
