Our 8 inch Tibetan Vajra & Bell Set was handcrafted in Patan, Nepal using traditional methods. In addition, the item is gold plated and embedded with semiprecious stones such as Turquoise and Red Coral. Turquoise is a combination of blue and green. Indeed, blue signifies the purity of the Buddhas and green symbolizes their readiness to act. In further benefit, meditation on the color red can assist devotees to eliminate craving and desire. This Tibetan vajra & Bell Set is handmade using the lost wax sculpting method. Lost wax sculpting brings out the fine details of traditional craftsmanship used in Nepal.
The vajra is the Buddhist symbol for the male attribute of compassion which is an essential component of enlightenment. In conjunction with the Ghanti (Bell), the female attribute of wisdom, the vajra is used for special Buddhist ceremonies such as consecration.
Use our Tibetan Vajra & Bell Set to inspire your personal practice. The vajra represents the indestructible virtue of the Buddhist path to enlightenment. Similar to the diamond, real practitioners can develop indestructible virtue. We can also arrange for the item to be consecrated in Nepal before Shipping. Contact me for details by leaving a note during checkout and I will follow up with additional information involving consecration services.
