Tibetan Vajra Bell Set
About Vajra & Bell
The Tibetan Vajra Bell Set is a finely crafted bronze ensemble known for its durability and resonance. The set includes a Vajra (Dorje) and a Bell, which represent the masculine and feminine aspects of enlightenment, respectively. The Throat Chakra, which represents communication, self-expression, and sound, is painted on the Bell. This sacred set is an excellent tool for meditation, rituals, and spiritual practices, as it improves focus and creates harmonious vibrations. It is an expensive asset for spiritual practitioners and collectors due to its intricate craftsmanship and symbolic significance.
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.
