BAJRASATTWA

Bajrasatwa is the sixth Dhyani Buddha. Nepalese Buddhists regard him as the priest of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. He is not represented in the stupa like other Dhyani Buddhas, but independent shrines are dedicated to him. His worship is always performed in secret and is not open to those who are not initiated into the mysteries of the Vajrayana. Bajrasattwa is represented in two forms, single and labium. This Dhyani Buddha wears all ornaments, a rich dress and a crown. He is white in colour. He sits cross-legged, in the meditative pose like other Dhyani Buddhas and carries the vajra in his right hand with palm upwards against the chest and the ghant or the bell in the left hand resting upon the left thigh.
