Vajrasattva, known as Dorjé Sempa in Tibetan, is the sovereign of all the Buddha families and embodies the sambhogakaya Buddha.
In his right hand, he holds a golden vajra or Dorje close to his heart, while his left hand is holding a silver ghanta, a bell with a vajra handle. The vajra symbolizes compassion and method, while the ghanta represents wisdom. The unity of these attributes, methods and wisdom, is essential for achieving Buddhahood.
Vajrasattva assumes the padmasana or lotus posture, with his legs closely crossed and the soles of his feet visible. He is seated on a moon disc, which rests upon a lotus, symbolizing fully developed compassion and knowledge.
