About Vajrasattva

Esoteric Buddhism is an integral part of the Buddhist philosophy. Vajrasattva is the name of bodhisattva Samantabhadra in esoteric Vajrayana Buddhism. To signify their esoteric form many Buddhist icons assume different identities. Vajrasattva holds a key position in two sutras of esoteric Buddhism-Vajrasekhara Sutra and Mahavairocana Sutra.In both the sutras, Vajrasattva learns Dhamma from Mahavairocana Buddha. He is taught the esoteric rituals to propagate the Dhamma. He is also known as ''Prince of Purity''. The meaning of his name is “Adamant Being” or more poetically “Embodying Reality”.
