Buddhist ritual vajra, just as ancient Vajra, is a type of scepter symbolizing the awakened consciousness, and Karuna (compassion) and upayu (skillful means) in opposition prajna — upaya (prajna and emptiness symbolizes the ritual bell, Connection vajra and bell in the hands of the priest crossed ritual symbolizes awakening as the result of integration (yugannadha) wisdom and method, of emptiness and compassion.

Lily is so not like the lily, which gave rise to some to believe that this is a special Masonic sign, which should be seen flipping. And then we will see a bee ".

 

Respected William V. wrote that the image taken by European courts lilies, as a heraldic sign, is Eastern origin, "as a constant, an essential element of ornament, often played on the expensive fabric. It is these tissues, and then the expensive clothes that were coming through the Byzantine Empire from the East to Europe, introduced already in the early Middle Ages, feudal Europe, the main consumers of luxurious fabrics, with a lily. "

Is Mysterious And Powerful Vajra.

One Of The Most Dangerous Weapons Of The Gods?

An unknown, terrible and powerful ancient weapon could have contributed to the collapse of one or several advanced technologically civilizations that existed in the distant past.

Could it be that the mysterious and terrible vajra - a powerful thunderbolt throwing light - was one of such unbelievable weapons?

When in the early twentieth century, people began to understand the unbelievable potential of radioactive decay, they also began to understand that it was not the first time the existence of a radioactive isotope appeared in the history of humankind.

The artifact can be found in many places. This one is in an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

 This concept was proposed by Frederick Soddy (2 September 1877 – 22 September 1956), an English scientist who in fact, predicted the existence of a radioactive isotope but Soddy also suggested that there was once an ancient but extremely advanced civilization capable of harnessing of energy of nuclear reactions.

  However, due to the misuse of this source of energy, this ancient civilization was almost completely destroyed.

Many of us believe that Mahabharata and the Ramayana are not science fiction works, but the reality ..... Not only did sophisticated aircraft exist such as Vimanas and Vailixi but also existed and were in use terrible nuclear weapons.

Vajra in Buddha's hand

 Did anything of this highly sophisticated ancient heritage survive until today?

Vajra is a Sanskrit word which defies translation because of its numerous meanings, but essentially vajra is an indestructible substance, usually represented by diamond.

Indra - most important god in Vedic religion - is frequently portrayed wielding a powerful thunderbolt - vajra, which in later Buddhism becomes a diamond sceptre, the Vajrayan.
Was Indra's vajra one of his weapons used against enemies like the demon Vritra described as both snake and dragon?

According to early Vedic texts, this demon, also known as the Enemy, had transformed himself into a fearsome "snake" with no less than 99 coils. Unfortunately for local farmers these tremendous coils were blocking up the rivers and streams and causing a great drought.

So horrifying was Vritra that none of the gods dared intervene and it was only Indra who found the courage, to fight the beast with one of his thunderbolts. As we know also Zeus was the bearer of the thunderbolt, wielding his weapon against the powers of darkness.

Zeus, the bearer of the thunderbolt, wielding his weapon against the powers of darkness.

The substance of vajra fully controls devious influences, including heavenly demons and outside ways. The light, which is the characteristic mark of vajra, has the power to break up all darkness, yet protects itself from all destruction.

According to ancient traditions, Vajra itself is a thunder of a thousand blades forged from iron, or gold mixed with bronze or stone.

This powerful device could not only destroy the enemy in form of attacking flying machine, but it also had the ability to cause rain and was a symbol of fertility.
