Dorje Nubchu, commonly known as the Nine-Pronged Vajra, is a ritual object associated with Tibetan Buddhism. On a central shaft, it features nine prongs that resemble lotus petals. The symbolic meanings of the nine prongs connect to many aspects of Buddhist philosophy and cosmology.
The nine prongs might specifically represent the nine Tibetan Buddhist yanas, or vehicles, which lead practitioners through different stages of spiritual development. The Nine-Pronged Vajra is used in ceremonies to invoke spiritual energies associated with these deep teachings and facilitate a deeper understanding of the road to enlightenment.
