Vajrasattva



Sanskrit: वज्रसत्त्व, Tibetan རྡོ་རྗེ་སེམས་དཔའ། Dorje Sempa. From Sanskrit वज्र, Tibetan: Dorje རྡོ་རྗེ "thunderbolt, lightning, diamond, adamantine" and सत्त्व sattva "essence, spirit, first, being, wisdom, nature."

In Hinduism, the vajra is the weapon of Indra (Zeus). In Tibetan Buddhism, it is a symbol of true reality, the Emptiness, the Absolute, that which is indestructible.

Vajrasattva is the "essence of That." As deity, Vajrasattva represents the power to purify ourselves of psychological defects. His consort is Vajragarvā (or Vajrāṭopā), which in Tibetan is Dorje Nyemma.

The mantra of Vajrasattva is oṃ Vajrasattva hūṃ (Sanskrit: ॐ वज्रसत्त्व हूँ).

Vajrasattva can also mean Diamond Vehicle or Diamond Soul.

"People imagine that our Father who is in Heaven is a Lord who is seated there. Yet, if we profoundly reflect on this, we discover the Monad, the number one, the origin of all of the other unities or Monads. It is clear that the Monad needs something in life in order to Self-realize. What is it that the Monad needs? We find the answer in the light of Sanskrit. It needs “Vajrasattva,” which means “a Diamond Soul.” This is a Soul that has no “I,” that has eliminated all of the subjective elements of perception; these subjective elements are the “I’s” and the three traitors of Hiram Abiff, or in other words, Judas, the demon of desire, who is mistakenly confused with the Astral Body; Pilate, the demon of the mind, who is confused with the Mental Body; and Caiaphas, the demon of Evil Will." - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah
