[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 12718430, member: 2844"]It is a Vishvavajra, with four ends. A Vajra has two ends. This is an explanation a certain someone wrote elsewhere on the forum;): "The Vishvavajra is one of the most powerful symbols in Vajrayana Buddhism, it stands for the four winds and the powers that created the physical unverse. It also ensures harmony between all sides and between the worldly and the spiritual. On the base of a statue it serves to ground a heavenly being and connect its essence with sentient beings."
