The use of the bell and vajra differs according to the ritual performed or the sadhana chanted. The vajra and bell are used in various rituals and sadhanas, representing various aspects of Buddhism. The vajra is used for visualization, evocation of deities, and protection, while the bell represents the teachings of dharma and sound offerings. In meditation, the vajra is placed on the practitioner’s chest, while the bell is held in the left hand, symbolizing the union of male and female principles.
The Ghanta and Vajra are probably the most identifiable tantric ritual items to Tibetan rituals. The Bell is known as Ghanta in Sanskrit or Dril-bu to Tibetans. It symbolizes female energy in the form of Wisdom expressed as “going beyond wisdom.” The vajra is also known as Dorje in Tibetan, where it symbolizes male energy in the form of Method expressed as “compassion.” They are inseparable companion pieces, with the bell held in the left hand and the vajra in the right. Used together, they can activate energy and clear a space of negative energies. The bell is used as a sonic focus for meditation, a cadence factor for mantra recitation, or a signal when the spirit of the Buddha has entered the ceremony. The vajra is added to all kinds of ritual implements to potentate them.
