There is neither a painting in the mind

Nor a mind in the painting:

And yet, where else can one find a painting

Than in the mind?

Avatamsaka Sutra

 

"Preserving the Sacred Arts is always part of the preservation of Dharma"
                   ~ Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche ~



This is a good quality 8 inch by 10 inch photo (not giclee) of Vajrasattva.  The photo was taken of a Tibetan Buddhist thangka from Nepal by Master Artist Prem  Lama.  Suitable for framing and use on your altar or as a "deity card" for your practice.

Vajrasattva is the esoteric Buddhist name of the bodhisattva Samantabhadra. In esoteric Vajrayana Buddhism, many Buddhist figures assume different identities to signify their esoteric, as opposed to exoteric, form. Vajrasattva is an important figure in two esoteric Buddhist sutras, the Mahavairocana Sutra and the Vajrasekhara Sutra. In both sutras, Vajrasattva plays the role of the student, who learns the Dharma from Mahavairocana Buddha, and is taught the esoteric rituals to help actualize the Dharma.

In esoteric Buddhist rituals, the initiate re-enacts the role of Vajrasattva and recites mantra and dialogue from the sutras, while the teacher enacts the role of Mahavairocana Buddha bestowing wisdom.

Vajrasattva (Vajra Hero, Tib. dorje sempa) "Dorsem" is the buddha of purification.  As the  "action" or karma protector, he also manifests the energies of all Buddhas. 

Kagyu tantric practitioners focus upon Vajrasattva, in the form as 'Solitary Universal Ruler.'  Here the deity is an aspect of buddha Vajradhara.  The lions that appear in some representations at the base of the deity's seat show he shares the essential nature of Shakyamuni buddha.   

According to Ven. Bardor Tulku, Mahapandita Naropa was an embodiment of Vajrasattva.

Vajrasattva (Japanese:  Kongosatta) is white, with one face and two hands and resembles a youth of 16.  Half of his long wavy black hair is gathered on top of his head, the rest curls down his back and around his shoulders.  He is seated on a moon disc on a white lotus with his torso gracefully curved to our left in the dancer's pose.  His legs are crossed in the vajra position. In his right hand he holds a gold vajra to his heart and in his left, at his hip he holds a silent, ie. upturned, bell.  He is lavishly dressed in fine green and red silk garments and is richly adorned with gold and jewels as befits a prince -- with  crown, hair ornaments, earrings, bracelets, 3 necklaces, anklets, etc.

His face is gentle, and luminescent.   The whole radiates as a rainbow.

With consort, Vajragharvi

100-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva 

Nam Chö Version

Om Benza Sato Samaya, Manu Palaya

Benza Sato Tei No Pa, Tisthira Dridho Me Bawa

Suto Khayo Mei Ba Wa, Anu Rakto Me Ba Wa, Su Po Khayo Mei Ba Wa

Sar Wa Siddhi Mei Pra Yatsa, Sarwa Karma Sutsa Me,

Tsi Tam Shri Yam Kuru Hung, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Bagawan

Sarwa Tathagata Hri Daya, Benza Ma Mei Muntsa

Benzi Bhawa Maha Samaya Sato Ah

 

As with any mantra there are many levels to the meaning of the 100 Syllable Mantra. 

As a result, one should not become fixated upon any one translation of the mantra. For example, 

each of the syllables in the 100-Syllable Mantra also represents the One Hundred Peaceful 

and Wrathful Deities resident in one's own body and encountered in the Bardo State after death. 

By practicing with an open mind, the deeper levels of the mantra will be revealed.

 

The approximate meaning of the mantra: You, Vajrasattva, have generated the holy mind 

(bodhicitta) according to your pledge (samaya). Your holy mind is enriched with the simultaneous holy

actions of releasing transmigratory beings from samsara (the circling, suffering aggregates). Whatever

happens in my life-happiness or suffering, good or bad-with a pleased, holy mind, never give up but

 please guide me. Please stabilize all happiness, including the happiness of the upper realms, actualize

all actions and sublime and common realizations, and please make the glory of the five wisdoms abide in my heart.

Open skies, forests, wooden carts, things big and small,

Parts or wholes: nothing truly has independent being.

Question everything that appears to the mind, and

Realize how the deluded living beings, gullible as oxen,

See everything through the distorted consciousness

That grasps at things as standing alone.

 

A donkey can have no horns on its head;

Similarly, how can anything have true existence?

From atoms to the omniscient wisdom of enlightenment,

All things utterly lack a final nature.

This is the essential message of Buddha
