Vishwavajra, also known as Vajra Cross, is a symbol in Buddhism that represents the union of opposites and the indestructible nature of enlightenment. It consists of two diamond thunderbolts or vajras, crossed over each other, forming a cross-like pattern. The vajra itself is a ritual tool and a symbol of both power and spiritual insight.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vishwavajra is associated with Vajrayana, the Diamond Way, which emphasizes the swift path to enlightenment. The intersecting vajras in the Vishwavajra signify the unification of opposites, such as compassion and wisdom, skillful means and emptiness.
This sacred symbol holds deep spiritual significance and is often used in rituals, meditation practices, and as a representation of the unshakable truth in Buddhist philosophy.
