Dorjes All Dorjes have been chosen individually for inclusion by Order Members.
The Dorje or Vajra is a very important symbol in Buddhist tantra. In fact, the Tantra teachings are even referred to as the Vajrayana or Vajra-vehicle. The vajra is probably a derivation of a weapon and a sceptre, and may have its origins in the trident and a mendicants' staff, and symbolises being indestructible, therefore sometimes compared to a diamond. Dorjes ,as well as being used by monks in spiritual ceremonies, are also kept by lay buddhists.
As well as single and double dorjes we are also pleased to present dorje pendants which make a fine adournment.
