Description
Vajrasatva is an important figure in the tantric Buddhism of the Newa: Vajracaryas of the Kathmandu Valley. He represents the ideal guru, and he is frequently invoked in the guru maṇḍala, the foundational ritual for all other Newa: Buddhist rituals and the daily pūjā for Newa: priests. The satakṣara (100 syllable prayer to Vajrasatva) is memorized early in life by most practicing Newa: Buddhists.
