About Vajra & Bell:
This Tibetan Buddhist Bell and vajra set features a finely crafted brass and bronze bell that measures 16 cm in height, 8.5 cm in diameter, and weighs 0.30 kg. The accompanying vajra is 2.8 cm high and 11 cm broad, weighing 0.11 kg, bringing the total weight to 0.41 kg. These exquisitely designed ritual implements are vital components of Tibetan Buddhist meditation and rituals, bringing spiritual presence and attention.
The bell's intricate design incorporates ancient patterns and a golden handle adorned with god illustrations, representing profound religious meaning and workmanship. The vajra, which represents the thunderbolt and the indestructible essence of knowledge, complements the bell with its symmetrical, precise construction. Both pieces are carefully created from brass and bronze, combining durability with spiritual creativity.
The bell symbolizes knowledge and the feminine side, whilst the vajra represents compassion and the male principle. Together, they represent the union of wisdom and compassion, which is required for spiritual enlightenment. This collection is an excellent gift or addition for practitioners and collectors seeking genuine Tibetan ritual instruments.
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.
