Fourth vajra-master awareness (Buddhism, Tibetan)

This state of awareness is characterized by the need to speak the dharma words of power. One is said to perform a Buddha's functions of instruction. The corresponding initiation object is the bell, symbolizing prajna or wisdom-power, which has as a handle the dorje or vajra thunderbolt, symbolic of understanding or means. These qualities are united in the symbolism of the object as they are said to be united in the adept.

In Tibetan Sakya Buddhism this is one of the states in the "Ascension Stages Game". In some sets it is numbered 75 on the board.
