Vajrasattva belongs to the family of Akshobya. Some believe that he is an emancipation of Vajradhara, while others will regard him as the patriarch of the 5 Dhyani Buddhas.
In Buddhist practice the main function of Vajrasattva is to purify the veils that cover our conscious: ignorance, inner disruptions and karmic debt. These veils can be considered:
- A cause of misery and suffering in our existence.
- An obstacle on the path to self-awareness and the true nature of life.
