Vajra (Devanagari: वज्र) is the Sanskrit word for both lightning and diamond and is considered a ritual or spiritual attribute, primarily in Buddhism but also in Hinduism.
In Tibetan, the eponymous word dorje is also commonly used as a male name in Tibet and Bhutan. It often refers to a small scepter held in the right hand by Tibetan tantric practitioners during ceremonies, and with which several statues of the Buddha are also equipped.
A kartika or drigug (Sanskrit: kartari; Tibetan: གྲི་གུག་, Wylie: gri-gug, or kartrika in Nepal) is a small, crescent-shaped, handy ritual knife used in the tantric ceremonies of Vajrayana Buddhism.
