Product Description
Tibetan 6inch Bell with Dorje - Dark Bronze Finish: Home & Kitchen. Traditionally held in the right hand, the dorje symbolizes masculine Yang power and the clear, immutable essence of reality that is the basis of everything. The Bell and Dorje also known as the Vajra (Sanskrit) are inseparable ritual objects in Tibetan Buddhism. The prayer bell is used to call the presence of the Buddha. Before chanting one rings the bell to clear the mind of worldly matters. The dorje represents the thunderbolt of enlightenment, that abrupt change in human consciousness which is the pivotal episode in the lives of mystics and saints. When unified in a ceremony of ritual prayer, they form a symbol of incorruptible purity or diamond truth that no force can destroy - the victory of wisdom over ignorance. The Yin feminine bell is held in the left hand as a representation of profound wisdom.
