Vajrasattva With Consort Thangka

Vajrasattva — the Diamond Being — is the Buddha of purification, the embodiment of the primordial purity that underlies all experience. In this thangka he is depicted in sacred union with his consort Vajragarvi, the yab-yum form that represents the inseparable union of emptiness and compassion, the ground state of awakened mind. He holds the vajra at his heart and the bell at his hip, while his consort embraces him in a posture of complete openness and trust.

The Vajrasattva yab-yum practice is one of the most powerful purification practices in the Vajrayana tradition, used to cleanse the obscurations of body, speech, and mind accumulated over countless lifetimes. This thangka is a potent support for that practice and a visually magnificent expression of the non-dual nature of reality. It is appropriate for experienced practitioners and serious collectors of Himalayan sacred art.
