In Tibetan Buddhism, the Dorje and Drilbu are highly symbolic of the confluence of wisdom and compassion. The transcendent wisdom of the Buddha's teachings is embodied by the Drilbu, or bell, while the Dorje stands for the unbreakable thunderbolt of enlightenment. Combined, they act as potent metaphors for enlightenment and spiritual metamorphosis, pointing practitioners toward inner serenity and waking. Our Tibetan Dorje and Drilbu set encourages you to experience the timeless wisdom and majestic beauty of Tibetan Buddhism, whether employed in meditation, prayer, or ceremonial ceremonies.
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.
