BUDDHIST Sacred Spiritual TIBETAN MEDITATION BELL
BUDDHIST Sacred Spiritual TIBETAN MEDITATION BELL
This item includes one Bell and one wood striker. You can use the wood striker just like you would with a singing bowl by rubbing it around the bottom of the bell.
The bell is a primary Ritual Tool of Tibetan Buddhism. It represents many layers of intricate symbolism and meaning and is used in almost all Tibetan ritual ceremony, chanting and magical operations. BELL As the archetypal feminine principle the Dill boo [bell] represents the perfection of wisdom which directly perceives the primordial nature of shunyata [emptiness]. Its sound describes emptiness as it the sound arises from silence and dissolves back into silence. As such it represents the mandala of creation and dissolution; the bottom rim of the bell reps the disc of emptiness from which all arises, these being symbolised by the ring of lower dorjes, the garlands of hanging pearls, the upper horizontal dorjes, all forming the base for eight seed syllables of the eight goddesses. The main feature fo the handle is the face of Vajra-para-mita, the greatest Goddess representing the union and perfection of all wisdom and awareness. From her elaborate crown rise the five wisdom jewels which form the vajra cap to the bell. In Buddhism, the bell represents Wisdom ("Prajna" in Sanskrit). It is held in the left hand during rituals, and it is also believed that the bell represents the female principle of the universe.
