Vajrasattva,
the embodiment of unconditional kindness, is always portrayed with
a gentle face and a luminescent countenance. His practices are all
related to confession and purification, and he is the supreme remover
of obstacles for Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhists. It is said that of
all the countless methods to purify obscurations and negative
karma, the practices of Vajrasattva are the best. Through
meditation and recitation related to Vajrasattva, students can
purify their minds in preparation for more advanced Tantric
practices. It is believed that all harmful acts can be purified and
all obscurations removed though sincere dedication to Vajrasattva
and his practices.
Gestures
and Attributes
Vajrasattva
holds the vajra (or dorje) and ghanta (or bell), which together
represent the body, speech, and mind of the Buddha. In Tantric
ritual, the vajra is held in the right hand and the bell is held in
the left. The vajra represents the compassion of the Buddhas, the
masculine principle, and the bell represents wisdom, the feminine
principle. To achieve enlightenment, these principles must be
combined. Used together in ritual, the vajra and ghanta purify the
surrounding space of negative energies, and raise beneficial energy
for positive work.
