CA001 Alternate Altar
Vajra
This talisman combines the
archetypal eight spoked wheel (order through time) with two other
symbol forms from the cultures of the East. In the center lies a Pi
Wheel, a Chinese symbol of Good Fortune and Protection.
The small hole at the center symbolizes the individual spirit and the surrounding circle represents the divine. The stylized shapes extending out in opposite directions from the center form the Vajra, or double thunderbolt, of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Vajra symbolizes the ability of insight and enlightenment to come from any direction and to strike in an instant.
