Dorjes and Phurbas

The Tibetan dorje symbol represents the 'thunderbolt of enlightenment,' which is the pivotal point in Tibetan Buddhism as enlightenment is the thing that all Buddhists hope to achieve. The dorje also stands for compassion and in Tantric Buddhism is the masculine element paired with the bell (ghanta) which is the feminine element that stands for wisdom. The Tibetan Buddhist phurba represents a dagger (although phurbas are not sharp) and is used in Buddhist Tantric philosophy to represent the ability to overcome obstacles and destroy evil.
