The bell (0.33kg) produces a resonant, calming sound, symbolizing the voice of the Buddha, while the vajra (0.74kg) represents the indestructible nature of truth and enlightenment. Together, they form a powerful duo used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals, meditation, and prayers to enhance focus, clarity, and spiritual protection. The artificial coral inlay adds an additional layer of symbolism, representing vitality and protection.
Introduction to Vajra & Bell:
The vajra, meaning "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.
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 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 the 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, the indestructible nature of the absolute. Together, they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
