Vajra, a term originating from the Sanskrit language, is also known as dorje in Tibetan culture. This term is associated with the word for 'diamond', suggesting a strong, indestructible nature. Interestingly, it also carries a resemblance to the thunderbolt weapon, a symbol of power, wielded by Indra, a revered deity in Vedic religion, and Zeus from Greek mythology. This suggests that the Vajra, like a thunderbolt weapon, is perceived to have the power to overcome both internal and external adversities.

In the context of Tibetan religious practices, the dorje, coupled with a matching bell, plays a crucial role. The Tibetan lama or teacher holds the dorje in the right hand during religious ceremonies. During these ceremonies, which include pujas and prayers, the dorje and the bell are not just static objects. Instead, they are actively moved in a series of formal gestures, demonstrating their integral role in these spiritual events.

This listing is for one Bell and Dorje Set lovingly wrapped and sent to you with love and light.
