The Vajra is a traditional ritual object used in Buddhism and Hinduism, especially in Tibetan Buddhism.The word “Vajra” means “diamond” (indestructible) and “thunderbolt” (irresistible force) in Sanskrit.It symbolizes compassion, and is often paired with a bell representing wisdom — together, they show the union of wisdom and method.Its shape — a central sphere with symmetrical prongs — represents emptiness and the path to enlightenment.
