Buddhist Deity Heruka Vajrasattva Sculpture
We have exclusively hand-carved the sculpture of Heruka Vajrasattva in the traditional Himalayan Art of Nepal. We have depicted the deity seated serenely with legs crossed upon a moon disc atop a lotus seat holding a bell in his left hand at the level of his hip and a Vajra in his right hand near his chest. The bell symbolizes wisdom and the vajra, compassion. The body is molded using copper. Intricate design patterns are hand craved on the body. The crown, ornaments, robe, and lotus seat reflect the quality of this figurine. We have specially adorned them with precious gemstones. We have glided the statue with 24K pure gold. The use of Acrylic painting makes the statue visually stunning.
This Large statue will be a perfect gift for a practitioner like you that will aid you in your daily practices.

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.
