Seated in the meditative posture atop a lotus pedestal, the entire statue is gilded and embellished with turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli, exuding utmost grandeur and solemnity. The original base remains intact, a testament to its centuries-old heritage, originating from the Minzhu Lin Temple, renowned for its high status and craftsmanship.
In the Qing Dynasty, a gilded and gem-set statue of Vajrasattva, a prominent figure in Tibetan Buddhism, was created. Vajrasattva embodies the qualities of compassion and fearlessness, epitomizing the concept of the resolute Bodhisattva. The term 'Vajrasattva' symbolizes the indomitable Bodhicitta and the profound understanding that afflictions themselves can lead to enlightenment.
Vajrasattva holds a revered position in Tibetan Buddhist tradition, embodying dual roles: sometimes appearing as a Bodhisattva and often serving as the unifying force among Buddhas, signifying the essence of the Dharmakaya.
This exceptional statue of Vajrasattva is of superior quality, boasting considerable size, exquisite craftsmanship, and ample gilding. Adorned with a five-leaved crown and braided hair cascading on either side of the body, the figure exhibits round, full facial features, a broad forehead, straight nose, and converging eyebrows over the brow center, with eyes cast downward in serene compassion. The figure's large ears, adorned with earrings, slightly tilt to the right, while the torso twists against the hip motion, presenting an aesthetically pleasing posture. The sculpted physique portrays a robust, youthful figure with prominent muscular contours. Vajrasattva's right hand holds a vajra raised to the chest, while the left hand holds a bell at the waist, serving as identifiers of his identity.
