Dorje Symbolism
Dorje is the Tibetan word meaning “thunderbolt or diamond “. It derives from the Sanskrit word “vajra.” The vajra is indestructible. It is akin to a diamond because it can destroy, but it cannot be destroyed. It symbolizes that which is indestructible, enduring, powerful, invincible and irresistible.
In Hinduism, the vajra is the weapon of Indra (the god of rain, lightning and the sky) and is often portrayed as a thunderbolt. It destroys ignorance and represents great durability – an immutability that is eternal – the pure awareness of the Buddha.
At first glance, the dorje symbol appears to be a weapon, but it is not a weapon, but a ritual object. In Tibetan Buddhism, the dorje symbol is inseparable with the bell. The bell represents the feminine or the physical body, while the dorje represents the masculine, or the mind. The dorje is used to strike the bell - the dorje in the right hand, and the bell in the left. In Buddhist ceremonies in Tibet, the bell and the dorje are always used together because both the masculine and feminine elements within us must be in balance in order to reach enlightenment.
The vajra is often used as a tool in meditation. Practitioners can meditate on the vajra to achieve the “thunderbolt experience.” The thunderbolt experience is a symbol of union of the relative and absolute truths. Relative truth is what we experience in everyday life. Conversely, absolute truth is the timeless state of being unified with nature and everything around us.
Each part of the dorje symbol has a certain meaning. The two spheres of the dorje joined together in the middle represent the two sides of the brain. This dual nature in the dorje itself can represent the body/ mind or masculine/ feminine aspects. Just as in other types of eastern philosophy such as the yin yang symbol (see our newsletter of February 2006), this duality is represented in the dorje.
The spheres represent the primordial nature of the universe, the underlying unity of all things. There are two sides of the dorje. One side represents “samsara” or the cycle of birth, death and rebirth – reincarnation – within Buddhism, or it can also refer to a general state of overt or subtle suffering that occurs in day to day life. The other side is for the noumenal world, that aspect comprised of objects or events known only to the imagination independent of the senses , for instance, “ nirvana.”
On either side of the central hub are three rings that symbolize the spontaneous bliss of Buddha nature - emptiness, effortlessness and signlessness. Emerging from the three rings on either side are two lotuses each comprised of eight petals. The eight upper petals represent the eight bodhisattvas (those individual whose aim is to become fully enlightened) with the eight lower petals representing their consorts.
Above the lotus bases is another series of three pearl –like rings representing the six perfections of patience, generosity, discipline, effort, meditation and wisdom. A full moon disc crowns each of the lotuses. Emerging from the moon disc are five tapering prongs . The four outer prongs curve inwards to the central prong symbolizing that the four aggregates of form, feeling, perception and motivation depend upon the fifth aggregate of consciousness. The ten rings together symbolize the ten perfections – the six mentioned above plus skillful means, aspiration, inner strength and pure awareness. These are the ten grounds or progressive levels of realization of a bodhisattva.
In Hinduism, Indra’s thunderbolt has open prongs. There is a legend that Shakyamuni (Gautama, the original, the founder of Buddhism) took the vajra weapon from Indra and pressed the prongs together to make the dorje into a peaceful instrument rather than a weapon. The dorje thus absorbed the unbreakable, indestructible magical power of the thunderbolt, the vajra, and spread its enlightenment throughout the Buddhist world .
