The Tibetan "Ghanta" bell, featuring a dorje-shaped handle, is a deeply symbolic ritual instrument in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The ghanta (bell) represents wisdom and the feminine principle, while the dorje (or vajra), which serves as the handle, symbolizes compassion and the masculine principle. Together, they embody the union of enlightenment.
This bell is mainly used during prayers, spiritual ceremonies, and meditation sessions, often in combination with the dorje. Its sound is clear, subtle, and penetrating, helping to purify the space, elevate the mind, and support concentration.
With a height of 15 cm, it is perfect for personal or group practice and is considered a highly symbolic and spiritual object.
The Tibetan bell is often used during prayer and meditation. The clear, piercing sound produced is similar in energy to the "ohm" vibration. There is profound Buddhist symbolism contained in the bell designs. The word Dorje is a Sanskrit word that means both lightning and diamond and is believed to represent firmness of spirit and spiritual power.
The Tibetan bell must be rung at heart level using the left hand. The unique tone of the Tibetan bell will cleanse your aura and surrounding environment of negative chi. .
The bell (ghanta) symbolizes emptiness. The sound produced is that of the Buddha's teaching.
During the rites, the bell is held with the left hand and is the female symbol, while the vajra (or dorje), a male symbol, is held in the right hand. The Dorje and the Bell together represent the opposites that coexist.
