Tibet Ritual Items Vajra and Bell Set
About Vajra & Bell
The Tibet Ritual Items Vajra and Bell Set, which are made by hand with reverence and accuracy, represent the sacred essence of Tibetan Buddhist rites. The bell handle and vajra, which are made of brass, are potent representations of cosmic equilibrium and spiritual enlightenment. The vajra represents the unbreakable nature of enlightened mind, and the bronze bell resonates with melodic tones that induce a sense of transcendence and peace throughout ritual rites.
The vajra and bell are integral parts of Tibetan Buddhist rituals and are used to call forth blessings from the divine and drive out evil spirits. Their harmonious interaction, when used together, represents the merger of compassion and wisdom and points practitioners in the direction of spiritual enlightenment and pain-free living. A sacred channel for connecting with the divine and deepening one's spiritual journey, the Vajra and Bell Set can be employed in elaborate temple rituals or in private meditation practice.
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 overcome 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.
