Oṃ Vajrasattva Hūṃ: companion of Buddha Akshobhya and second patriarch to Buddha Vairocana. The esoteric aspect of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, teacher of tantra to Nagarjuna. Bodhisattva Vajrasattva is widely revered in the Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Shingon traditions of Buddhism. Essentially, He is a guru - the ideal guru, to be precise - and is indispensable to the guru mandala.

In the murti that you see on this page, He is depicted seated in padmasana on a lotus pedestal. This is in keeping with traditional Buddhist iconography of seated Bodhisattvas. The wide-set multi-tiered crown rests on a brow steeped deep in yogic contemplation (samadhi). The handsome face is flanked by golden curls and karnakundalas that graze the stately clavicles. In the left hand resting on His lap is a handheld bell, while in the right which He raises to His breast is a vajra. The latter translates to thunderbolt or diamond: the name Vajrasattva translates to a being (‘sattva’) infused with the glamour of either.

Bodhisattva Vajrasattva is clad in a dhoti that clings tightly to His slender limbs. A sea of sashes floats about Him, indicative of the ethereal winds that pervade His realm of existence. This figurine comes in a variety of coloured finishes, each of which is designed to infuse the space it is installed in with a distinct mood.

The name Vajrasattva is composed of two entities. Vajra meaning diamond or adamantine hardness, and sattva meaning essence. Thus Vajrasattva signifies the essence of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is indeed the main deity employed for purification by practitioners.

He holds a vajra symbolizing method in his right hand and bell of wisdom in his left. Their pairing thus represents the union of wisdom and method, an important state in the eventual journey to Nirvana.

The use of the bell and vajra differs according to the ritual performed or the sadhana chanted. The vajra can be used for visualization or evocation of deities; ringing the bell can be used to request protection or other actions from a deity, or it can represent the teaching of Dharma, and can also be a sound offering. During meditation on the deity Vajrasattva, the vajra is placed on the chest of the practitioner, meaning that Vajrasattva is brought to the meditator, and they become one and inseparable. Ringing the bell then represents the sound of Buddha teaching the Dharma and symbolizes the attainment of wisdom and the understanding of emptiness.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
