Tibetan Prayer Bells

Tibetan Bell (Ghanta) The Tibetan prayer bell is commonly used in tantric Buddhist rituals to address the presence of the Buddha. God figures and apotheosised lamas hold this popular symbol, along with the thunderbolt in their hands to facilitate centring the energy and quieting the mind. Ringing or striking the bell creates harmonious sound. The harmonious sound created by the Buddhist hand bell sends the message to evil spirits to stay away from the consecrated area where the rituals are performed.

The Vajra pairs hand held prayer bell which is also know as ghanta in Nepal which represents the compassion of Buddha, the masculine principle and the bell represents the wisdom the female principle. The prayer bell is envisioned as the Buddha's body, the vajra is envisioned as his mind whereas the sound created by the bell symbolises the Buddha's speech, the teaching of the dharma, attainment of wisdom and the understanding of emptiness. These two Buddhist rituals objects must be combined to achieve enlightenment.

The use of the vajra and the bells can be different depending upon the ritual preformed or the sadhana chanted. The vajra is held in the right hand with its face down usually near the heart expressing the qualities of wisdom and the bell is held in the left hand usually with its face upward expressing qualities of compassion and love. They are then moved in graceful gestures. We quite often see the hands are held with the wrists crossed over each other against the chest. This represents the union of the male and female principles.

The bell is ideal to clear out cluttered and dense energy clogging up the home, work space or worship area.
