AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vajra is een Sanskrietwoord dat zowel bliksemschicht als diamant betekent. Bovendien is het een in de strijd gewonnen wapen dat als ritueel object wordt gebruikt om zowel de eigenschappen van een diamant (onverwoestbaarheid) als een bliksemschicht (onweerstaanbare kracht) te symboliseren.

De vajra is het wapen van de Vedische regen- en dondergod Indra, en wordt symbolisch gebruikt door de dharma-tradities van het boeddhisme, jaïnisme en hindoeïsme, vaak om de standvastigheid van geest en spirituele kracht te vertegenwoordigen. Het gebruik van de vajra als symbolisch en ritueel instrument verspreidde zich vanuit Indonesie samen met de Hindu religie en cultuur naar andere delen van Azië.
