| Doube Dorje The outer meaning of the dorje is a Tibetan thunderbolt symbolizing male power,the inner meaning is the emblem of Vajrayana, the Diamond World, that which cuts through our delusions. The secret meaning is Emptiness -devoid of a separate self. Brought to Tibet by the great magical Buddha Padmasambhava, it is also a magic wand. Here one dorje crosses another with the wheel of fire in the middle - the symbol for enlightenment. Kalichakra Symbol This is the powerful Ten-syllable Mantragram, which combines the ten syllables of the essence mantra of the Kalachakra Buddha deity. These letters form a matrix that holds together the elements of earth, water, fire, air, consciousness and wisdom, which sustains the universe as a theater for the enlightenment of all beings." --Robert A. F. Thurman, "Inside Tibetan Buddhism" |
