The Nine-Pronged Vajra, sometimes referred to as Dorje Nubchu, is a Tibetan Buddhist ritual object. It has nine prongs that mimic lotus petals on a central shaft. The nine prongs have symbolic connotations that relate to various aspects of Buddhist cosmology and philosophy. The nine prongs may explicitly stand for the nine yanas, or vehicles, of Tibetan Buddhism that guide practitioners through various phases of spiritual growth. In rituals, the Nine-Pronged Vajra is employed to call forth spiritual energies linked to these profound teachings and to promote a more profound comprehension of the path to enlightenment.
