About our Vajra
A vajra ritual item is a double five-pronged vajra with three flames on all but the central prong. Two rings of linked lotus petals make up the grip's central portion. The Sanskrit word vajra signifies a lightning bolt. Different deities from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions carry it as a weapon. The central symbol of esoteric Buddhism is the vajra because enlightenment can strike with a similar rapid, forceful, and exact blow that shatters ignorance and other forces of darkness. Lightning is pure energy that strikes with speed, power, and precision.
Introduction to Vajra
A stylized representation of a lightning bolt, a vajra, has long been an essential emblem of power in Buddhist teachings and art. Vajras usually look like two-sided tridents, with prongs on both ends of a shaft, but their heads can have one, three, five, or six prongs. Esoteric Buddhism is called Vajrayana, or the “way of the vajra,” because the lightning bolt represents the active, forceful approach to enlightenment that cuts through ignorance and fear.
