About Vajra & Bell:
This handcrafted Tibetan Bell and Vajra Set is an effective ritual tool in Tibetan and Vajrayana Buddhist practices. This sacred duo, comprising a 15.5cm-tall copper-bodied Ghanta (bell) and a finely detailed 10.5cm-wide brass Vajra (dorje), represents the inseparable unity of wisdom and compassion. The bell's resonant chime removes negativity and purifies the environment, while the dorje represents indestructible spiritual power and enlightened action. They work together to form essential tools for ceremonies, meditation sessions, and spiritual offerings.
Each set weighs 0.46kg and is meticulously handcrafted. It has a copper bell body, a detailed brass top, and a vajra. Each piece's artistry and symbolism make it a valuable and meaningful addition to any Buddhist altar, meditation corner, or sacred space. Whether used for sound healing, prayer rituals, or spiritual display, this set captures the essence of Tibetan Buddhism.
Introduction to Vajra & Bell:
The vajra, meaning "diamond" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, is a significant symbol and ritual instrument in Hinduism and the Buddhist tradition, particularly in the Vajrayana ("diamond way") tradition, from which it derives its name.
The Tibetan Dorje represents the indestructibility and efficiency that overcome all obstacles. Symbolically, Dorje Vajra destroys ignorance. In Tibetan Buddhist rituals, the vajra is often paired with the bell, representing the masculine and feminine, the yin and yang, as well as the balance between practical action and 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. Placing a Dorje at home would have positive virtues against the various attacks we suffer.
The bell or the drums are the feminine aspect of the perfection of wisdom, which directly realizes Emptiness. Vajra or Dorje represents the male aspect as a method or skillful means, embodying the indestructible nature of the absolute. Together, they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner's main yidam deity.
