VAJRA/DORJE

Every Buddhist practitioner in Tibet and every celebrant of a ritual has three
objects to which the Tibetans attribute a deep and meticulous symbolism.
These are the vajra, the bell and the mala.

The Vajra, in Dorje Tibetan. It is arguably the most important symbol of the
Tibetan Buddhism. The term means "diamond" and denotes nature
indestructible of the spirit in oneself, the awakening, which is at the same time imperishable and
indivisible. The small scepter seems to be, originally, the diamond thunderbolt of the
god Indra, it is a mark of royalty and power.

1° the five upper points represent the five wisdoms, five facets of
diamond that is enlightened mind: mirror-like wisdom, which means
that the waking mind, like a perfectly polished mirror, clearly reflects
all things, possesses the ability to know everything, without any confusion. there
wisdom of equality, which recognizes that all phenomena of samsara (my world
ordinary) and nirvana (the pure fields or paradises of the Buddhas) are of a
equal nature in the sense that they are of a single essence: emptiness wisdom
of distinction, which denotes that the awakened mind not only perceives the
emptiness of all phenomena (which the wisdom of equality operates) but also,
simultaneity without confusion, all phenomena as they occur
demonstrate; fulfilling wisdom, which enables Buddhas to create
pure fields and emanations working for the benefit of beings; the wisdom of
universal space, which indicates that all phenomena, beyond any concept
and of all duality, abide in the pure knowledge of the spirit.

2° At the same time as the five wisdoms, these five upper points symbolize
the Five Victors or five main Male Buddhas on a mystical level.
The lower five points symbolize the Five Female Buddhas.

3° The mouths of makara (sea monster) from which the points emerge denote the
liberation from the cycle of existences.

4° The eight upper petals represent the eight male bodhisattvas,
that is, eight great bodhisattvas dwelling in celestial realms.

5° The eight lower petals are the eight female bodhisattvas.

6° The round part in the middle designates emptiness.
