Introduction to Vajra & Bell:

The vajra, meaning "diamond" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, is a significant symbol and ritual instrument in Hinduism and the Buddhist tradition, particularly in the Vajrayana ("diamond way") tradition, from which it derives its name.
The 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 yin and yang, and the balance between practical action and 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. Placing a Dorje at home would have positive virtues against the various attacks we suffer.
The bell or the drums are the feminine aspect of the perfection of wisdom, which directly realizes Emptiness. Vajra or Dorje represents the male aspect as a method or skillful means, embodying the absolute's indestructible nature. Together, they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner's main yidam deity.
