Since ancient times, esoteric Buddhist ritual implements have been a source of spiritual strength, believed to protect their owners from misfortune and draw out their inner strength. We present two of these, the five-pronged vajra (gokosho) and nine-pronged vajra (kukosho), crafted from exquisite brass. Also known as vajras, vajras, or dorjes, these ritual implements are said to have been used by practitioners to destroy worldly desires, ward off demons, and pave the way to wisdom and enlightenment. The five-pronged vajra's tip is divided into five blades or prongs called kō (prongs). These five kō (prongs) are said to represent the five Buddhas, symbolizing the truth of the universe, and the five sublime wisdoms possessed by the Buddhas. They are said to dispel confusion in the mind of the wielder and empower them to overcome obstacles that stand in their way. When you need to concentrate or meditate, its tranquil presence will invite you to deep introspection. Meanwhile, the "Nine-pronged Vajra" has nine prongs at its tip, symbolizing not only the power of the five-pronged vajra but also the power of the vast universe depicted in mandalas. It is therefore said to have even greater power to destroy evil and to offer widespread protection, and has been relied upon as a space purifier and talisman. These ritual implements are crafted from brass, which has a substantial feel and a lustre that deepens with use, and are meticulously carved down to the smallest detail. Despite their handy size (five-pronged vajra: approximately 85mm long and 50g in weight, nine-pronged vajra: approximately 90mm long and 50g in weight), these vajras fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Their authentic appearance makes them suitable not only for altar worship, but also for displaying on a desk in your study to create a spiritual space, or for carrying around in a pouch as a talisman. They are perfect as daily talismans to ward off evil and evil spirits, as support for meditation and yoga practice, as accents for spiritual spaces alongside Buddhist statues and mandalas, and even as gifts for loved ones interested in esoteric Buddhism and Buddhist art. This set includes one five-pronged vajra and one nine-pronged vajra. You can purchase your favorite ritual implements individually, or purchase a set for those who wish to own both. Because they are made of brass, the color may change over time, but this is also part of the antique charm you can appreciate. To clean, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Dropping or other strong impacts may cause damage, so please handle with care. We hope that these five-pronged and nine-pronged vajra will help bring gentle power and peace to your daily life.
