Vajrasattva is Sanskrit for "Diamond Being", and is the Buddha that has the ability to eliminate impurities of all sorts, in particular broken samaya or commitments made to ones path or teacher. He unifies the five Buddha families in the same manner that his iconographic color, white, is the unification of all the colors of the Buddha families. Typically he holds a dorje to his heart with his right hand, and with his left he holds a bell which sits on his hip. the bell signifies compassion; the dorje his indestructibility. the short version of the purification mantra is, "OM VAJRA SATTO HUNG PHED." The hundred syllable mantra associated with Vajrasattva:
OM VAJRASATTVA
SAMAYA
MANU PALAYA O Vajrasattva: Guard and
protect my commitments. VAJRA is synonymous with DORJE Vajra is Sanskrit; Dorje is Tibetan; however,
the meanings are different from the Vedic
tradition to the Tibetan tradition. Vajra
translates as Diamond, and refers to the true
nature of reality, or shunyata, emptiness.
Emptiness is indestructible, like a diamond, and
perfectly clear and pure. The vajra is not a
weapon but a symbol of indestructiblity, as in
Absolute Reality or dharmic truth. In Tibetan Buddhism dorje also represents the
masculine symbol, that which is akin to "skillful
means". The dorje is seen together with the
drilbu a ritual bell, which is the feminine symbol
representing prajna, wisdom.
