Introduction to Vajra & Bell:
The vajra, meaning "diamond" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, is a significant symbol and ritual instrument in Hinduism, as well as in the Buddhist tradition of Vajrayana ("diamond way"), from which it derives 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 paired with the bell, representing the masculine and the feminine, the ying and the yang, practical action, and compassion. The shape of the Tibetan Dorje is symmetrical, with the two pyramidal heads representing samsara and Nirvana that 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 drums are 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, embodying the indestructible nature of the absolute. Together, they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
