Description

Vajrasattva Shakti depicting a union of wisdom and compassion.
In Tibetan Buddhism Vajrasatva is associated with the sambhogakāya and purification practice.
In the Shingon Buddhist lineage, Vajrasatva is traditionally viewed as the second patriarch, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission he relates a story based on Amoghavajra's account that Nagarjuna met Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India. Vajrasatva initiated Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ritual and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had learned from Vairocana Buddha, as depicted in the Mahavairocana Sutra. Kukai does not elaborate further on Vajrasatva or his origins.
His left hand,holds a bell,which rests on his hip,this is an expression of his compassion.The hundred syllable mantra associated with him is used in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism for purification of the mind.

I visited the premises in Boudha in person. Its not just next to the stupa like many shops but a little way away and easy to find with Googlemaps - just ask locals when you get there as they didn't have an obvious sign, at least when I visited. They have modern studios, workshops and a salesroom all in the same buildng. Bipin was very helpful and I examined several bhavacakra thankas before settling for a beautifully detailed one. The brocade was added in a day or two and the final thanka was delivered to my hotel very carefully and robustly packaged. I was very happy with the thankas I bought and very happy with the service, Definitely recommended!

An exquisite and rare piece of art in the admiration of Goddess Palden Lhamo. Its mesmerising beauty is simply enchanting. I just can't stop appreciating the artisan, who hand painted this fine piece of art, which would have taken months to complete . My personal thanks to the artisan and the seller for making this rare and precious item available all over the world. I hope there will be more beautiful items like this, depicting Goddess Palden Lhamo will be available in future as items related to the Goddess Palden Lhamo are quite rare.

Love it so much thank you!
