Vajra or Dorje

The Vajra, known as Dorje in Tibetan, is a sacred ritual object symbolizing indestructibility and spiritual power in Buddhism. This ritual object embodies strength, enlightenment, and the indestructible nature of truth. Typically crafted from metals like copper or bronze, it features prongs—often five or nine—symbolizing wisdom and compassion. Used in Vajrayana practices, the Vajra or Dorje aids meditation, rituals, and ceremonies, it serves as a powerful tool for dispelling negativity and invoking divine blessings. Artisans create these treasures with intricate techniques, often plating them in gold or silver for added brilliance.
