About Our Vajra and Bell
The Bell and Vajra Set is a sacred pair of ritual tools, expertly handcrafted to enhance your meditation and spiritual practices. Made from copper, brass, and bronze, these tools represent the harmonious balance between wisdom and compassion. The Bell, standing at 18 cm in height and 9.5 cm in width, weighs 0.4 kg, while the Vajra stands at 3 cm in height and 12.5 cm in width, with a weight of 0.17 kg. Together, they weigh 0.58 kg, making them the perfect, substantial set for your altar or meditation space. Both pieces are meticulously designed to promote mindfulness, inner peace, and a deeper spiritual connection.
The Bell represents the feminine aspect of sound, calling practitioners to mindfulness and symbolizing the clarity of wisdom. The Vajra, on the other hand, is a symbol of the masculine principle, representing the indestructible nature of the Buddha’s teachings. Crafted from copper, brass, and bronze, these materials give each piece a traditional look, embodying spiritual energy and power. The intricate craftsmanship of both the Bell and Vajra makes them not just ritual tools, but also beautiful works of art that enhance any sacred space.
Introduction to Vajra & Bell
The vajra, meaning "diamond" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, is an important symbol and ritual instrument in Hinduism and, more so, in the Buddhist tradition of 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 paired with the bell, representing the masculine and feminine, the ying and yang, the effective action, and the compassion. The shape of the Tibetan Dorje is symmetrical, with two pyramidal heads representing samsara and Nirvana that cancel each other out at 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 absolute's indestructible nature. Together, they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
