Tibetan Dorje and Bell Set for Meditation and Spiritual Practices
About Vajra & Bell
The Tibetan Dorje and Bell Set is a lovely and sacred object that has been created on a copper body and is ideal for meditation and prayer. A bell and a dorje (also known as a vajra) are included in the set, which are important ritual artifacts in Tibetan Buddhism. The bell represents the feminine principle, and the Dorje represents the male principle; their use together denotes the union of wisdom and compassion. The bell's handle is decorated with gemstones and carved with a vajra design, making it not only useful but also visually appealing. The pure and beautiful sound created by the bell and dorje is thought to purify the atmosphere as well as the thoughts of those present, assisting in meditation and spiritual pursuits.
Introduction to Vajra & Bell
The vajra means "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 overcomes 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 indestructible nature of the absolute. Together they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
