How to Make Use of the Dorje Bell
When playing, grip the bell’s handle in your left hand and shake the bell’s mouth downward; the sound is clear and pleasant, and it travels far. It is employed in Buddhist Dharma chanting and music.

Vajra
Vajra is a five-pronged ceremonial item used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals. It represents the qualities of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force). Vajra represents indestructibility as a symbol for the properties of a diamond, as diamonds are the hardest of stones. Vajra, as a thunderbolt symbol, represents the unstoppable force. Because the god Indra kills ignorant people with this weapon, it represents cutting through ignorance.
The vajra is the weapon of the Indian Vedic rain and thunder-deity Indra, and it is frequently used symbolically by the dharma traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism to represent spiritual power and firmness of spirit.
The vajra is a symbol of the nature of reality, or sunyata, in Buddhist tantric traditions, indicating boundless creativity, potency, and skillful activity.
The vajra (symbolizing the male principle, the fitness of action) is held in the right hand, and the bell (symbolizing the female principle, intelligence) is held in the left, the interaction of which ultimately leads to enlightenment.
