Here you see an impressive, large and very finely crafted statue from Nepal's workshops.

Such beautiful and exquisitely crafted statues are usually made for the surrounding monasteries (Buddhist temples) or Tibetan monasteries and remain there forever to serve the practicing monks and lamas as an object of devotion.

The statue itself is made in the manufacturing process of the "lost form" and is masterfully done.

Several artists collaborated in this work to create this beautiful Dorje Sempa deity.

It takes several months to make such a statue and it is 100% handmade and 100% unique.

It is "all fire gilded" and the face is very impressive in expression. 

The engravings on the ornaments as well as on the clothing is exceptionally deep and very finely done. (this is what makes the quality and therefore the value of a statue).

The statue can be filled from below, as is Tibetan tradition.

Vajrasattva ('Vajra-being', tib. Dorje Sempa) is an adi or primordial Buddha, a transcendent beginningless enlightened being who is the embodiment of absolute reality. As such, he is also the essence of the five great transcendent Buddhas (also: Dhyani Buddhas) Vairocana, Akshobhya, Amitabha, Ratnasambhava and Amogasiddhi and is therefore often referred to as the "sixth Buddha family".

He is of brilliant white body color, wears the jewelry of the sambhogakaya of precious jeweled ornaments and silk robes. In his right hand he holds the vajra at his heart (symbol of the masculine principle of compassion) and in his left hand the bell (feminine symbol of the wisdom of emptiness) symbolizing the union of opposites. For this reason, he is often depicted in union (yab/yum, "father/mother") with his consort. In particular, Vajrasattva is considered the Buddha who embodies the purity of all Buddhas; his practice is therefore one of the most important tantric purification practices, central to all Tibetan Buddhist schools.
