A vajra made of cypress wood. Size: Length 15cm, Width 1.8cm. The vajra is a ritual implement, likened to a weapon from Indian mythology, representing the Buddha's teachings that eradicate worldly desires and express bodhicitta (the desire for enlightenment). It is used in esoteric Buddhist rituals in the Shingon and Tendai sects, as well as in Segaki (ceremonial offerings) ceremonies in the Shingon, Tendai, and Zen sects. Its basic shape is rod-shaped with a central handle (the "onime" part). The onime is visualized as Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana), and practitioners grasp its bulge as a form of spiritual unity with Dainichi Nyorai. It has spear-like blades on both the top and bottom. There are several variations depending on the number and shape of the blades, each with its own name.
