Vajrasattva Mantra, Purifying Karma
Vajrasattva means diamond being or vajrabeing. Its character is as strong as a vajra. By practicing his Dharma, the follower can avoid all evil thoughts, eliminate vexations and have unlimited happiness and wisdom. More info He is usually represented seated on a lotus posture. He wears a crown in which there is often an image of Akshobhya, and the dress and ornaments of DhyaniBuddhisattva. Against his breast, he generally holds vajra in his right hand; but the vajra may be balanced on its point in the palm of his hand. With the left, he holds the ghanta on his hip. If standing, he balances the vajra in his right hand against his breast, while in the left, hanging pendent, he presses the ghanta against leg. Unlike the other DhyanBoddhas, he is always crowned with or without his sakti whom he presses against his breast in the yabyum attitude, with the right hand holding vajra, while the left holds the ghanta on his hip.
