Vajrasattva
is the main deity practice for purification in the Vajrayana tradition
and is practiced in various forms. This buddha is white in color,
symbolizing purity, and holds a dorje (vajra) at his heart and a bell
at his hip, signifying the union of skillful means and wisdom. This
practice engages in the method of offering, through which one gains the
merit to purify obscurations and negativities. Venerable Gyatrul
Rinpoche explains, "This retreat itself is a Vajrasattva lama offering,
a lama accomplishment practice. We are essentially meditating on our
own lama in the pure, enlightened form of Vajrasattva, Dorje Sem Pa,
and we accomplish or realize the true nature of the lama in the form of
Vajrasattva through this practice."
