The great Kuukai-daishi had a very harsh yet determined life. For those who are interested AND understand Chinese, you can go to the link underneath. I read the entire biography of Kuukai-daishi for doing this translation, but it was also because he really had a life that inspires others. Go check it out if you’re interested.

kingougokosho 金剛五鈷杆: vajra
It is a religious instrument used by Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. It signifies the nature of diamond, that it can cause damage to other substances but not itself, and that of irresistible force. In Hindu mythology, Vajra is the weapon of the rain, lightning and the sky.
