Vajra, in Sanskrit, has both the meanings of “thunderbolt” and “diamond.” Like the thunderbolt, the vajra cleaves through ignorance. The thunderbolt was originally the symbol of the Hindu rain god Indra (who became the Buddhist Śakra) and was employed by the 8th-century Tantric (esoteric) master Padmasambhava to conquer the non-Buddhist deities of Tibet. 金刚杵，在梵语中，有“霹雳”和“金刚石”两种意思。如同霹雳，金刚杵破除无明。雷电最初是印度教雨神因陀罗（后来成为佛教的帝释天）的象征，并被 8 世纪的密宗（密宗）大师莲花生大士用来征服西藏的非佛教神灵。
