Symbols and rituals are a matter of great concern in Tibetan Buddhism. Every other auspicious sign has a separate meaning and value to infer. Those who follow Buddhism as their religion, prefer to have its sacred symbols with them in any form, whether as any 2D or 3D artefact or in the form of a jewel or textile.

This Tibetan Buddhist Dorje pendant holds all the auspicious qualities of a Buddhist symbol. ‘Dorje’ is a Tibetan name for the Sanskrit term ‘Vajra’ which means ‘diamond’ or ‘thunderbolt’. It is a symbol of the Vajrayana Buddhism of Tibet that highlights towards the attainment of enlightenment.
