Product description Vajra Cross 11,5 cm
Crossed Vajra
The crossed vajra is formed by two dorjes crossed (connected) in their center. The power of the Dorje is thus magnified in terms of protection and the ability to maintain balance in the minds of people and the energies around them.
The origin of the Dorje (thunderclap, vajra) is in India (it evolved from the thunderclap of the Vedic weather god Indra), although it later became a Buddhist symbol as Buddhism progressed. Dorje translated means - lord of the stone, embodies the masculine principle and emanates pure yang energy (when lying in place). In Tibet, it is an indispensable tool in various ceremonies (celebration of festivals, meditation ceremonies, etc.).
Dorje is grasped by the center, which is referred to as an indestructible diamond. It represents the essence of enlightenment and its unchanging and unbreakable nature. To reach the diamond (the centre), both the opposites of good and evil and their balance are needed. The classical Dorje has five rays, although a six or nine-beam design is also possible. The five spokes symbolize the five metaphysical buddhas, the five elements, the five elements, the five forms of wisdom, the arrangement of the spokes (one pointing directly while the other four join it), symbolizes the constant merry-go-round of reincarnation and the subsequent liberation from it. In the centre of the dorje are two hemispheres with eight lotus petals (like the eight boddhisattvas). Between the hemispheres is the center of the dorje (symbolizing union and divine essence), where everything begins and ends simultaneously.
