The meaning of C PUR
C pur stands for carbon pure which is what a diamond is made of. Its chemical formula is the letter C. C pur stands for “the pure diamond”. Diamond is the hardest substance known to mankind. It has been a symbol of love, excellence and purification. Because of its remarkable hardness and clarity, diamond reigns supreme in its symbolism of power, strength, brilliance and unparalleled beauty.
Diamond is a very powerful symbol. With its many facets it resembles the human being in all its complexity and brilliance. As we go through our lives we try to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Very much like a rough diamond being polished one facet at the time, opening up a new window to the world every step of the way. The goal at the end of the journey is to obtain maximum brilliance with a strong unshakable core so we can let our love shine from within to spread it all around us.
Diamond in Buddhism
In Buddhism, diamond plays a major symbolic role. It refers to the Vajrayana which in Sanskrit stands for “Diamond Vehicle’’. The Vajrayana path seeks to eliminate all dualities, so that the practitioner may realize the unity of enlightenment. This is done through use of rituals, symbolism and yoga practices to evoke experiences that enable realization. Buddhist tantra is the foundation of Vajrayana and its systems of meditation. The guru-disciple relationship also is especially important in Vajrayana. The Buddhist text known around the world as the Diamond Sutra is a short Mahayana sutra of the Perfection of Wisdom (prajna-paramita) genre, which teaches the practice of the avoidance of abiding in extremes of mental attachment.
