The bell in this set symbolizes the feminine principle of wisdom, and the vajra, with its dynamic, thunderbolt-like design, represents the masculine principle of compassion.

The brass body of the bell is detailed with intricate motifs that reflect traditional Tibetan craftsmanship. At the same time, the vajra is designed with a multi-pointed structure, signifying the power of indestructible truth. The bronze accents on both pieces add an element of antiquity, giving them a timeless, sacred quality.

Introduction to Vajra & Bell:
The vajra, meaning "diamond" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, is an important symbol and ritual instrument in Hinduism and more in the Buddhist tradition Vajrayana ("diamond way"), to which it gave its name.
Tibetan Dorje represents the indestructibility and efficiency that overcome all obstacles. Symbolically, Dorje Vajra destroys ignorance. In Tibetan Buddhist rituals, the vajra is often used with the bell, representing the masculine and the feminine, the ying and the yang, the effective action, and the compassion. The shape of the Tibetan Dorje is symmetrical, the two pyramidal heads representing samsara and Nirvana, which cancel each other out in its center, thanks to the ring of Emptiness. Having a Dorje at home would have positive virtues against the various attacks we suffer.
The bell or drills is the feminine aspect of the perfection of wisdom, which directly realizes emptiness.
The Vajra or Dorje represents the male aspect as a method or skillful means, the absolute's indestructible nature. Together they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
