Beautiful hand-painted thangka from Nepal depicting Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification. With skin like moonlight, he sits upon a thousand-petaled lotus in union with his consort, Dorje Nyema. He holds a vajra in his right hand, symbolizing skillful means. And in his left hand, he holds a bell, representing the wisdom of emptiness. It is said that all Buddhas are present in the form of Vajrasattva.
