- Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Tibet, our Five Prong Vajra is made of brass in a traditional manner with intricate carvings.
- The 5-prong design (four on the outside and one in the middle) is one of the most iconic designs, representing five wisdoms in Vajrayana Buddhism (རྡོ་རྗེ་རྟ་ཅན་གྱི་ནང་བསྟན་)
- Traditionally used as part of tantric ritual with a Tibetan bell, Vajras have been gaining popularity in the modern world, including the richest man in the world, as a decorative ornament.
In Tibetan traditions, the word Vajra can be translated into “diamond”, which can cut any substance without being damaged, or a “thunderbolt”, signifying irresistible force. In Hinduism, it is associated with the god Indra (associated with sky, lightning, weather, thunder, storms, rains, river flows, and war), who wields it as a weapon of strength and protection. The vajra's powerful symbolism underscores themes of spiritual power, resilience, and enlightenment.
The five prongs on the Vajra represent five wisdoms, specifically:
- Harmadhatu wisdom: the awareness of “emptiness”
- Mirror-like wisdom: the wisdom of having dualistic thoughts, like a mirror with its reflections
- Discrimination awareness wisdom: this wisdom to perceive sameness, or commonality, of phenomena
- Equality wisdom: the realization that all phenomena have always been "equal"
- Discernment wisdom: understands all relative phenomena without confusing or mixing them up
- All-accomplishing wisdom: realizes all phenomena without the effort or exertion of the ordinary mind, but as a spontaneous accomplishment
Additionally, the carving on the Vajra features a wide range of traditional Tibetan elements, including lotus and bodhi leaf, making it a perfect decoration piece at your home, or a spiritual item that carries with you.
