vajra, indestrutivel, diamante, adamantino
Símbolo de sabedoria imutável e indestrutível, capaz de penetrar em tudo.
Pode referir-se ao implemento simbólico do mesmo nome, originalmente uma arma usada por Indra, é denotado pelo seu nome indiano, "vajra" que simboliza compaixão, meios hábeis, consciência. Sempre associado ao sino (Tib. dril bu, Skt. ghaṇṭā), o símbolo da sabedoria, do vazio. Para a forma do vajra veja a ilustração de Vajrasattva que segura o vajra na sua mão direita e o sino na sua esquerda.
Devido às sete características do diamante (não pode ser cortado, é indestrutível, verdadeiro, duro, duradouro, livre e invencível), os termos "diamante" e "adamantino" são utilizados para representar a natureza imutável e indestrutível da realidade e para qualificar assim o corpo, a fala, a mente, a sabedoria, a concentração, a postura de um ser iluminado, etc.

lit. “lord of stones.” On account of the diamond’s seven characteristics (it cannot be cut, it is indestructible, true, hard, enduring, unimpeded, and invincible), the terms “diamond” and “adamantine” are used to represent the unchanging, indestructible nature of reality and to thus qualify an enlightened being’s body, speech, mind, wisdom, concentration, posture, and so forth. In this book, the symbolic implement of the same name, originally a weapon used by Indra, is denoted by its Indian name, “vajra.” [TLWF, 2011]
Diamond or vajra weapon, a symbol of indestructibility, also used to represent skillful means or compassion. The vajra or dorje is frequently employed in tantric rituals in conjunction with a bell (dril bu), which in tum symbolizes the wisdom of emptiness. [TPQ, 2010]
Diamond or vajra weapon. The symbol of indestructibility and of compassion. A vajra is also a small implement used in conjunction with a bell (dril bu, the symbol of the wisdom of emptiness) during tantric rituals. [LLB, 2002]
A substance akin to adamant or diamond. Sometimes referred to as a thunderbolt, it is an emblem of indestructibility. In the form of a ritual implement, regularly used in tantric ceremonies, the vajra is the symbol of skillful means, that is, compassion, and is coupled with the bell (Skt. ghanta; Tib. dril bu), symbolizing the wisdom of emptiness. [WL, 2012]
Lit., “lord of stones.” A diamond. The symbolic implement (representing skillful means) held by tantric deities and used in tantric rituals. Originally a stone thrown by Indra as a weapon (hence “Indra’s thunderbolt”). In Buddhism it represents the unchanging, indestructible nature of reality, which has seven characteristics: it cannot be cut, is indestructible, true, hard, enduring, unimpeded, and invincible. This diamond-like nature gives its name to the Diamond Vehicle.[NS]

« diamant » est une approximation un peu moins guerrière que « vajra », qui est avant tout le projectile du dieu Indra, cette arme qui peut tout pulvériser mais que rien ne peut atteindre ni entamer, comme on peut le lire dans la Formule du Diamant Destructeur, Vajravidāraṇadhāraṇī), le « diamant (tantrique) » est « 1. infrangible, 2. indestructible, 3. vrai, 4. dur, 5. stable, 6. totalement imblocable et 7. parfaitement invincible ».foudre adamantin : autre traduction de vajra, q.v. [SEDA, 2019]
le vajra, que l'on taxe de « foudre d'Indra » à l'image de celui de Jupiter, n'est en effet qu'une arme conçue par Vishvakarma, l'artisan des dieux, pour son seigneur. Il tailla ce projectile évoquant un sceptre dans un os du rishi Dadhîci, qui était plus dur que le diamant : l'arme pouvait tout couper ou détruire sans que rien ne la coupe ou la détruise. Dans le Grand Véhicule, le vajra, ou diamant, illustre la nature indestructible de l'esprit. [TDPQ, 2009]
