What is a Double Dorje Carpet ?
The Tibetan Double Dorje Carpet is also known as the Visvavajra Carpet. It is a powerful symbol that represents the foundation of the physical world and is associated with certain tantric deities. The Visvavajra is also associated with Amogasiddhi (Tibetan: Donyo drupa), who is the Karma family buddha. His name means Unfailing Accomplishment. His activity transmutes the klesha (stain, or imperfection) of jealousy.
What exactly is Double Dorje Symbol?
The Double Dorje is a Tibetan symbol that represents the indestructible and immutable nature of reality. It is also known as the Vajra Cross or the Crossed Vajra. The Double Dorje is made up of two Dorjes, which are diamond-shaped objects that represent the thunderbolt of enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism. The Double Dorje is often used in meditation practices and is believed to help practitioners achieve enlightenment.
How are Tibetan Rugs Made?
Tibetan Double Dorje Carpet rugs are traditionally made from Tibetan highland sheep’s wool, called changpel. They are hand-knotted pile rugs made by Tibetan people using the Tibetan knot on vertical looms. Check Tibetan Rugs FAQ for more details.
In Nepal, the history of rug making began in 1959 when thousands of Tibetans fled from the Chinese Communist troops that had occupied their country. They found a new homeland in countries like India, Bhutan and mainly Nepal and began to earn a living by making rugs.
