Tibetan Jade Dorje Tassel

The Tibetan Jade Dorje Tassel features the famous 'dorje' symbol, made of jade crystal. A petite jade swastika pendant also accompanies the dorje pendant. Strung on red Chinese silk cording, this tassel finishes off with petite jade beads and embroidered ethnic fabric.

This is a lovely tassel, and with its spiritual accents, makes for a good protective personal amulet. One may also use this tassel in houses or office spaces.

A dorje symbolically represented the 'thunderbolt of enlightenment' - an abrupt change in human consciousness which is recognised by all the great religions as a pivotal episode in the lives of mystics and saints.

The Dorje 'thunderbolt' is therefore an essential ritual object in Tibetan Buddhism. They are always used in combination during religious ceremonies.

Wearing this item will invest you with protection, good luck as well as a possible 'thunderbolt' of enlightenment, or clarity, especially during trying moments in a day!

Before this mystical image was maligned by the bloodshed and war crime of the Nazi, or National Socialist German Workers Party, the swastika had a holy connotation. It has been heavily used by religious offices as this is an ancient Hindu symbol, adopted by Buddhists as well - after all, Buddhism was founded by a Hindu Prince. The swastika is also known as wan, meaning 'all' or 'eternality'. This symbol is most commonly found on Buddhist scriptures and temples.
