The dorje, also known as the vajra, is a potent Buddhist symbol of protection and compassion. It is the symbol of Amidogoshi, the Compassionate Buddha, and is often found in his right hand to signify the male principal and the destruction of ignorance (the bell, symbolising the female principal and the attainment of wisdom, is found in the left).
This dorje pendant is hand cast from sterling silver and looks beautiful on a fine silver chain, torc or leather cord, however, it also looks wonderful attached as a bracelet charm or on a keyring. Designed to be worn by either men or women.
