In Tibetan Vajra (Dorje) means “Indestructible” or something that cannot be cut or broken. The Vajra - Dorje has an indestructible hardness and brilliance like a diamond which cannot be cut or broken. The Dorje symbolizes the impenetrable, immovable, immutable, indivisible, and indestructible state of enlightenment or Buddhahood and the word means both ‘thunderbolt’ and ‘diamond’. As a material device the Dorje is a short metal weapon that has the symbolic nature of a diamond as it can cut anything but not itself and that of the thunderbolt which has irresistible force. The Dorje represents the firmness of spirit and great spiritual power. The Dorje is held in the right hand by Tibetan Lamas during religious ceremonies and is used by shaman during shamanic rituals. The Dorje will destroy all kinds of ignorance and is totally indestructible.
