Vajrasatwa,
the sixth Dhyani Buddha, is regarded by the Nepali Buddhist as
the priest of the Five Dhyani Buddha. He is not represented in
the stupa like other Dhyani Buddhas, but independent shrines are
dedicated to his worship. His worship is always performed in
secret and is not open to those who are not initiated into the
mysteries of the Vajrayana. Vajrasattwa is represented in two
forms, single and yabyum. This Dhyani Buddha wears all
ornaments, rich dress and a crown. He is of white colour. He
sits cross legged in the meditative pose like other Dhyani
Buddhas. He carries the vajra in his right hand with palm
upwards against the chest and ghanta (bell) in the left hand
resting upon the left thigh.
