Description from the seller

This vajra, or dorje, is a profound symbol in Tibetan Buddhism. It embodies unbreakability, unwavering power, and the ultimate truth that pierces ignorance and illusion. The name "vajra" is derived from Sanskrit and means "thunderbolt" or "diamond," both powerful metaphors for its spiritual power. In Buddhist mythology it is the weapon of Indra, the king of the gods, able to shatter mountains and dispel darkness.

Carefully packaged and insured for shipment.
