Vajra and Ghanta Set
The Vajra (Dorje) and Ghanta (bell) are important ritual implements in Tantric Buddhism. Together they symbolize the perfect union of wisdom and skillful means. Both of these are needed to reach enlightenment.
The Vajra, held in the right “masculine” hand, symbolizes the indestructible power and supreme method to destroy all negativities and delusions. The Ghanta, held in the left “feminine” hand, represents the wisdom that directly realizes emptiness, with its clapper or “tongue” proclaiming the “sound” of emptiness, which arises as vibration.
The Vajra and Ghanta are essential for many different Tantric practices, and their specific use varies according to the ritual or sadhana performed.
