A Vajrasattva thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts Vajrasattva, a key deity symbolizing purity and the power of purification. Vajrasattva is often revered for his role in cleansing negative karma and spiritual impurities, making him a central figure in various Buddhist purification practices.
In a Vajrasattva thangka, the deity is typically shown in a seated meditation posture on a lotus throne, which represents purity and the enlightened state. Vajrasattva is depicted with a calm and serene expression, radiating an aura of compassion and wisdom. He holds a vajra (a symbolic thunderbolt or diamond) in his right hand, close to his heart, symbolizing indestructible truth and the power to cut through ignorance.
