It is said that it can control thunder and destroy everything, and in Buddhism, it is used as a dharma tool/instrument to crush earthly desires and represent the wisdom of the Buddha. Vajra is a Sanskrit word meaning "diamond" or "adamantine." Vajra is also called "Vajra Pestle" in Buddhist terminology and is used as a dharma tool in esoteric Buddhism. The meaning and role of the Vajra are as follows: The Vajra Pestle represents the "Bodhicitta" (the mind that seeks enlightenment) by abandoning earthly desires. Due to its solid and unbreakable nature, it is used to mean the best and most superior. It is said to remove and purify negative energies such as demons, disasters, fear, and anxiety, and to bring good luck. The Vajra is used in some sects of Japanese Buddhism (Tendai, Shingon, and Zen) and all sects of Tibetan Buddhism. --- We will take measures to prevent shocks and water damage to prevent the product from being damaged during shipping.
