1. Vajra is a Sanskrit word meaning “diamond,” “adamantine,” or “indestructible.” The thunderbolt scepter held by Indra, the king of the gods in Indian mythology, is known as a vajra. In the adjectival sense in which the term is employed here, it refers to absolute indestructibility that is beyond all conditioned existence.—Eds.

2. Prajna is a Sanskrit term meaning “transcendental knowledge,” which is knowledge that sees through duality and recognizes emptiness. Upaya is also a Sanskrit term. It refers to compassionate action that is actually effective in situations. Prajna and upaya are associated with the feminine and masculine principles, respectively. Enlightenment is sometimes defined as the unity of the two.—Eds.
