Vajrasattva , or “being of Vajra” (Tibetan: rdo rje sems Pa; jap.: Kongosatta; chi.: 金剛 Jingang) is a Bouddha current Vajrayāna. Guard of the Karma, it concentrates energies and the wisdom of the Five dhyani Buddhas of which it is sometimes described like the “priest”. The practice of Vajrasattva is centered on the confession and the purification.
The carriers of will vajra
Vajrasattva, “Being of Vajra” (tib.: rdo rje sems Pa) and its emanation Sattvavajra “Vajra To be it”, Vajradhara, “Holder of Vajra” (tib.: rdo rje 'chang) and its emanation or Bodhisattva Vajrapāni, “Carrying Vajra” (tib.: phyag Na rdo rje), also called the “Lord of the mysteries”, maintains close relations and is sometimes identified with the same entity. There is here a strong ambiguity, will dhara meaning for example to carry, to support, whereas pani holds in hand, which would reverse the usual translations data Ci-high… The traditional Tibetan translation clarifies a little the situation: Vajrapani handles and pays homage while greeting with the hands , whereas Vajradhara preserves, and is due to the spiritCertain currents of Buddhism Tibetan regard Vajradhara as the Dharmakāya and Vajrasattva as the Sambhogakāya source of the Tantra S (whereas the Sūtra S come from the mouth of the Nirmanakaya Shākyamuni). The “perfect” lesson Dzogchen and Mahāmudrā would come directly from Vajradhara. Nevertheless, others estimate that this one is not really the supreme ādibuddha, since this last, without form nor movement, could not teach. They thus regard Vajradhara as a manifestation of true the dharmakāya Samantabhadra. According to one will tantra, Vajradhara was produced as a circle of light by Vairocana whereas this one meditated on Samantabhadra in the field of will vajra or “ground of diamond”.
Vajrapāni is generally regarded as the courroucée form of Vajrasattva or Vajradhara. The patriarch Kagyupa Nāropa is sometimes regarded as the incarnation of Vajrasattva. The Indian Master Tilopa (988 - 1069), one of the first links of the Line of the Rosary d´Or Kagyupa, would have received his principal instructions of the Vajradhara Buddha, in particular the lesson of the Mahāmudrā.
