    Description

    The Ghanta and Vajra, Bell and Dorje, represent multiple concepts (this list, compiled from various sources):
    This is a large bell, about 9 inches tall.
    * Indivisible Emptiness (Bell) and Form (Dorje)
    * Wisdom realizing emptiness (Bell) and Compassionate Action (Dorje)
    * Personal meditation Yidam deity (the Dorje), and your deity’s mandala (the Bell).
    * The six perfections: the Perfection of Wisdom (Bell) and the five perfections of generosity, morality, patience, perseverance, concentration (the five prongs of the Dorje)
    * The path to Enlightenment: Wisdom (Bell) and Compassion (Dorje)
    * Bell and Dorje together symbolize the penetrating wisdom and compassion of the Heart Sutra.
    * Wisdom (Bell) and Means (Dorje)
    * Sounds of Emptiness—sacred music and mantras—from the Bell and the forms of Enlightenment from the Dorje, including manifested Buddhas (five prongs representing five Wisdom Buddhas)
    * Bell representing Dharmakaya Truth Body and Dorje representing both the Sambhogakaya Enjoyment Body and Nirmanakaya Transformation Body
    * Great Mind (Bell) and Great Realization and Purity (Dorje)
