... i'll try to use it to awaken Wisdom, Power, Compassion & Skillful Means in myself and others - but not in everyone - for now.
... i am aware that these tools are Powerful, and misusing these results in bad karma.
... i wish to learn how to use Dorje & Bell, with wisdom and patience.
Vajra (Skt.; Tib. རྡོ་རྗེ་, dorje; Wyl. rdo rje) — a ritual sceptre symbolizing compassion and skilful means, and also a symbol of indestructibility. In tantric rituals the vajra is the necessary counterpart of the bell, which symbolizes the wisdom of emptiness.
The bell (Skt. ghaṇṭa; Tib. དྲིལ་བུ་, drilbu; Wyl. dril bu) is, with its necessary counterpart the vajra, an important ritual implement in Vajrayana practices. It symbolizes the feminine principle, the wisdom of emptiness, while the vajra symbolizes the masculine principle, that of compassion and skilful means. And the union of wisdomand skilful means is the enlightened mind.
