The Nine-Pronged Vajra, often referred to as the Nine-Pronged Ritual Object or Dorje Nubchu is a ceremonial implement in Tibetan Buddhism. It consists of a central shaft with nine prongs, each radiating inward like lotus petals. The symbolism of the nine prongs corresponds to various aspects of Buddhist philosophy and cosmology.
In particular, the nine prongs may represent the nine yanas or vehicles in Tibetan Buddhism, each leading practitioners through different stages of spiritual development. The Nine-Pronged Vajra is used in rituals to invoke spiritual energies associated with these profound teachings, fostering a deeper understanding of the path toward enlightenment.
