The Tibetan Vajra & Ghanta (Bell & Dorje) with Silver Mala Counters – 藏传金刚杵与金刚铃配银质计数器 combines two important ritual implements in Tibetan Buddhist practice: the Vajra (Dorje / 金刚杵) and Ghanta (Bell / 金刚铃), together with silver mala counters for keeping track of mantra or prayer repetitions.
The Vajra, also known as the Dorje, traditionally represents method, compassion, spiritual strength, and indestructibility. The Ghanta, or ritual bell, traditionally represents wisdom and emptiness. Used together, they symbolise the union of method and wisdom, an important concept within Vajrayana Buddhism.
The silver mala counters provide a practical way to keep count during longer meditation or mantra practices.
