sia <i><a href="/wiki/Fulmine" title="Fulmine">fulmine</a></i> sia <i><a href="/wiki/Diamante" title="Diamante">diamante</a></i> oltre che un oggetto simbolico che lo rappresenta nell'<a href="/wiki/Induismo" title="Induismo">Induismo</a> e nel <a href="/wiki/Buddismo_tibetano" title="Buddismo tibetano">Buddismo tibetano</a>, soprattutto nei rituali <a href="/wiki/Buddismo_Vajray%C4%81na" title="Buddismo Vajrayāna">tantrici</a>. </p><p>L'equivalente in <a href="/wiki/Lingua_tibetana" title="Lingua tibetana">tibetano</a> è detto <i>dorje</i>, che è anche un nome di persona molto diffuso in <a href="/wiki/Tibet" title="Tibet">Tibet</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bhutan" title="Bhutan">Bhutan</a> e <a href="/wiki/Mongolia" title="Mongolia">Mongolia</a> (nella forma di Дорж <i>Dorj</i>). Il vajra è presente nelle insegne dei dignitari del lamaismo. Nello stesso tempo, il vajra simboleggia il principio maschile della manifestazione universale, e così il fulmine è associato all'idea di paternità divina, associazione che ritroviamo altrettanto chiaramente nell'antichità occidentale, poiché il fulmine è il principale attributo di Zeus Pater o Ju-piter, il padre degli dei e degli uomini, che fulmina i Titani e i Giganti così come Thor e Parashu-Râma distruggono gli equivalenti con le loro armi di pietra. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Induismo">Induismo</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vajra&veaction=edit&section=1" title="Modifica la sezione Induismo" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>modifica</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vajra&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section's source code: Induismo"><span>modifica wikitesto</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Nella <a href="/wiki/Mitologia" title="Mitologia">mitologia</a> <a href="/wiki/Induismo" title="Induismo">induista</a> il vajra, che rappresenta il fenomeno naturale del fulmine, viene impugnato come arma da <a href="/wiki/Indra" title="Indra">Indra</a>, <i>Re degli dei</i>, in modo del tutto simile a <a href="/wiki/Zeus" title="Zeus">Zeus</a>, il <i>Padre degli dei</i> nella <a href="/wiki/Mitologia_greca" title="Mitologia greca">mitologia greca</a>. Il vajra rappresenta l'<i>indistruttibilità</i>, e in quanto l'arma più potente, ha la qualità di non poter essere usato in modo inappropriato e ha la proprietà di tornare sempre a chi lo impugna. </p><p>Si narra che il vajra sia stato fatto con le <a href="/wiki/Ossa" class="mw-redirect" title="Ossa">ossa</a> dell'<a href="/wiki/Asceta" class="mw-redirect" title="Asceta">asceta</a> <a href="/w/index.php?title=Dadhichi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Dadhichi (la pagina non esiste)">Dadhichi</a> per uccidere <a href="/wiki/Vritra" class="mw-redirect" title="Vritra">Vritra</a>.

Il vuoto, la natura stessa dell'illuminazione, è come un fulmine e indistruttibile come il diamante.
