The Vajrasattva Shakti thangka depicts the union of Vajrasattva, the embodiment of purity and primordial Buddha nature, with his consort, Shakti, symbolizing the inseparable nature of wisdom and compassion. Vajrasattva, often portrayed in radiant white, represents the purity of the mind and the power of purification, holding the vajra (thunderbolt) and bell, symbols of indestructible truth and wisdom.
His serene expression reflects his role as a healer and purifier of karma, guiding practitioners toward enlightenment. Shakti, his feminine counterpart, embodies the dynamic and nurturing aspect of the divine, emphasizing the balance and harmony of masculine and feminine energies. Together, they form a profound symbol of spiritual unity, transcending duality and illustrating the path to ultimate enlightenment.
