Special Meaning of our Dorje Sempa Statue
The ghanta bell is the ancient feminine symbol for wisdom and the vajra is the masculine symbol for compassion. As a result, our beautiful statue symbolizes enlightenment. This is because it is the joining of these two virtues that create Nirvana. The vajra at his heart and the bell at his hip symbolize the union of skillful means and wisdom — learn more about Vajrasattva’s iconography.
Our beautiful Dorje Sempa statue is the sambhogakaya embodiment of the Primordial Buddha – Vajradhara. This embodiment is one of what is known as the 3 kayas (bodies) of the Buddha. However, the sambhogakaya is described as a “subtle body of limitless form”. This means that a Buddha or high level bodhisattva can use the sambhogakaya to appear in any form necessary to relieve the suffering of sentient life. As a result, this statue is one of our most important and significant statues.
