 Vajra Ghanta : Vajra Ghanta the Symbol of Vajrayana Buddhism
The form of the vajra as a scepter or a weapon appears to have its origin in the single or double trident, which arose as a symbol of the thunderbolt or lightning in many ancient civilizations of the Near and Middle East.
The vajra is generally two-sided but the vishvavajra or the double thunderbolt has four heads representing the four dhyani Buddhas of the four directions namely, Amoghasiddhi for north, Akshobhya, who presides over the east, Ratnasambhava, lord of the south, and Amitabha who reigns over the west.
The vajra represents the compassion of the Buddha, the masculine principle; and the bell represents wisdom, the female principle.

 Establishing Vajra Commitment in the West
When a person in vajra commitment receives suggestions from their teachers, they are always free to present the limitations of their condition and to express their own perceived difficulties in terms of carrying out their Lamas' suggestions.
So, real examples of vajra command are far more likely to be instances of disciples being asked to question their perception, or to look at their behavior in a different light, than instances of outlandishness.
The vajra master needs to be able to point to instances of arrogance, anger, greed, dishonesty, and deliberate ignorance; and, to expect the disciple to take such observations to heart.

 Browse by Artist: VAJRA
"The name Vajra is a sanskrit word which has many meanings, including 'outsiders' and 'those people with the power to change an era.' Tsugara refers to an area in the far north of Japan, which has given birth to many of Japan's most powerfully unique musicians, writers and performers (it is also Mikami's birthplace).
Ishitsuka's martial power drumming provides the perfect foundation for Haino's soaring, roaring flights into the infinite abyss, which in turn combine in rare grace and (sub) conscious empathy with Mikami's improvised vocals (Mikami sings entirely in his native Tsugaru dialect which is totally incomprehensible to speakers of regular Japanese).
Vajra have a sound totally unlike any other group's -- and as a result they are an unsettling, weird listen.

 The Denver Post - Gorgeous "Vajra" a slow burn
Like a slide show from a host who starts to remember more and more indignities on the trip, "Vajra" contrasts overwhelmingly placid views of gorgeous Tibet with voice-overs that slowly get to the point: The Chinese government is out to destroy all you see on screen.
Since native Tibetans are afraid to speak on camera, and Chinese government officials believe they don't have to, like most movies about Tibet, "Vajra" is as much nostalgia as argument.
"Vajra" is part of the Truly Indie series at Landmark theaters, where filmmakers pay for screen time to get their movies shown.

 Vajra Sky Over Tibet
The film is the third in Bush's "Yatra Trilogy," the first two of which focused on Theravada Buddhism in the countries of Southeast Asia.
"Vajra Sky Over Tibet" can't help but have a political dimension: Since the 1949 invasion of Tibet by Mao's Communist Chinese, the ancient Himalayan theocracy has endured mass bloodshed, desecration, and diaspora.
What we are witnessing, between the shots of eternal statues, the pretty flowers, the devotional images the size of a mountainside, is "a slow and deliberate asphyxiation of the Tibetan Buddhist faith." "Vajra Sky Over Tibet" diffuses its anger among droplets of unruffled belief, but by the end they've coalesced into storm clouds.

The Vajra, or Sceptre, is a form of 3-Dimensional Yantra, in that its sculptural form can be interpreted on multiple levels to reveal aspects of cosmic structure.
The Vajra contains exactly the same structural archetype as the "Centre of the Conditions" ideograph, in that they both reveal the process from the Centre into Differentiation, and vice versa.
