Vajira (Buddhist nun)
For Vajira Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand see Vajira Hospital. For the German nun see Sister Vajira.

Vajira was a Buddhist nun mentioned in the Samyutta Nikaya (I.134-55). She was confronted by Mara while meditating and asked about the origin and creator of her "Being", i.e., her soul. She responded by comparing one's "Being" to a chariot, showing that it had no permanent existence but was made up of constituent parts.
