The Five‑Pronged Vajra (Dorje) is a central ritual implement in Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. It symbolizes the indestructible nature of reality, like a diamond and the irresistible force of enlightened awareness, like a thunderbolt.

The five prongs represent the Five Buddha Families and their associated Five Wisdoms, transforming the five main mental afflictions (greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and jealousy) into enlightened qualities. This makes the Vajra a powerful emblem of wisdom overcoming delusion, the transformation of negative emotions, and the unity of clarity and compassion.
