Vajrasattva is a Buddhist deity or Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism. The name Vajrasattva means "Diamond Being" or simply "Thunderbolt Being", and in other words, the vajra is closely related to tantric Buddhism, often called the Tantric Buddhist Being. This Buddhist deity is majorly mentioned in two of the most popular Sutra: Mahavairocana Sutra and Vajrasekhara Sutra.

As mentioned in the first chapter of the Mahavairocana Sutra, the people were very enthusiastic about learning the Dharma from Vairocana Buddha. These people were led by the Vajrasattva. At the moment, Vajrasattva asks about the cause, goal, and foundation of all-embracing wisdom thus leading to the philosophical discourse by the Vairocana Buddha. During the discourse, the people weren't able to comprehend the teaching, so the Buddha demonstrates the use of the mandala. Another question that was asked by Vajrasattva was why rituals and objects are needed if the truth is beyond form. In reply, Vairocana Buddha said that these are expedient means to bring practitioners to experience awakening more readily.

Vajrasattva is an important icon in Newar Buddhism which is followed by the Vajracharya of the Kathmandu Valley. Vajrasattva represents the ideal guru and is frequently invoked in the guru mandala, the foundational ritual for all other Newar Buddhist rituals and the daily puja for Newar priests.

Shingon Buddhism
In this sect. of Buddhism, Vajrasattva is traditionally viewed as the second patriarch. According to Kukai's writings in the record of the Dharma Transmission, he relates a story based on Amoghavajra's account that Nagarjuna met Vajrasattva in an iron tower in southern India. As mentioned in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasattva initiated Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ritual and entrusted him with the esoteric he had learned from Vairocana Buddha.

Tibetan Buddhism
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajrasattva root tantra is Dorje Gyan or Vajra Ornament. Vajrasattva practices are common to all of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are used both to purify obscurations so that the Vajrayana student can progress beyond Ngondro practices to the various yoga practices of tantra and also purify any broken Samaya vows after initiation. Therefore, it is believed that the Vajrasattva practice is an essential element of Tibetan Buddhist practice. The Vajrasattva practice is not only bound to personal practice, it is also regarded as having the ability to purify karma, bring peace, and cause enlightened activity in general.
