Narrative:

"Vajrasattva" is the most honorable Bodhisattva in Esoteric Buddhism. He was born when "Vairocana Buddha" entered into the Samantabhadra Samadhi of all Tathagatas in the Vajra Realm Mandala.

The "original Buddha" is the primordial Buddha, Dorje Chang, who is also the "Samantabhadra Tathagata", "Adharma Buddha" and "Vajradhara".

He manifested himself as five Buddhas: Vairocana in the center, Amitabha in the west, Akshobhya in the east, Ratnasambhava in the south, and Amoghasiddhi Buddha in the north. The Dharma Prince of the Five Buddhas is "Vajrasattva", who is the Bodhi Vajra Heart of all Tathagatas, the incarnation of the Five Buddhas to teach sentient beings, and the Dharma Prince of all Tathagatas. He is the only one who can represent Vajrayana.

At that time, "Nagarjuna Bodhisattva" opened the iron pagoda in South India, met "Vajrasattva", and passed on all the teachings of Vajra Realm and Garbha Realm to "Nagarjuna Bodhisattva". From then on, Esoteric Buddhism began to spread and the Esoteric Buddhism tradition was established. Therefore, "Vajrasattva" is the founder of Esoteric Buddhism.

"Vajra" represents "indestructible" and "emptiness"; "sattva" represents "Bodhisattva", and "Vajrasattva" is Vajra Bodhisattva.

The Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya of Vajrasattva are:

1. "Vajrasattva" is the Bodhisattva himself, representing "compassion".

2. "Vajrapani Bodhisattva": symbolizes power and represents "convenience".

3. "Vajra Heart Bodhisattva": symbolizes "intention" and represents "Dharma purpose".

It turns out that Vajrasattva is the crystallization of "intention", "power" and all "wisdom". Most of the Vajra Gods are transformed from Vajrasattva.
