Tibetan "Ghanta" bell with vajra for prayer and meditation (15 cm)

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.
