The outer (by outer we mean known to all) meaning of the dorje is a Tibetan thunderbolt symbolizing male power,the inner (by inner we mean known to devotees) meaning is the emblem of Vajrayana, the Diamond World, that which cuts through our delusions. The secret (well, secret means what secret usually does - known only to masters) 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 (double the meanings) with the wheel of fire (the triple nature of life) in the middle. It also is the symbol for enlightenment. |
