Golden time collection: "Cross-shaped Vajrayana Pestle" detailed Pendant Necklace (Unisex)

“十字金刚杵” (Shí zì jīn gāng chǔ) refers to a specific type of Vajra, a ritual object in Buddhism, particularly in Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana). The Vajra is a symbol of spiritual power, indestructibility, and enlightenment.

Vajra (金刚杵): The Vajra is a symbol of the power of the Buddha’s wisdom. It represents firmness of spirit and spiritual power. The word “Vajra” itself means "diamond" or "thunderbolt" in Sanskrit, emphasizing its indestructible and powerful nature.

"Cross-shaped": The cross shape typically indicates that the Vajra has four heads or prongs arranged in a cross formation. This shape represents the four directions and the spreading of compassion and wisdom in all directions.

Symbolism in Buddhism: The 十字金刚杵 is often used in rituals to symbolize the union of method (upaya) and wisdom (prajna), and it is associated with the purification of negative emotions and the destruction of ignorance. It embodies the idea of indestructible truth and the enduring power of enlightenment.
