The Bell and Vajra set represents the perfect union of wisdom and compassion. The bell and vajra are used as ritual items in meditation practice, retreats and ceremonies along with other musical instruments, mudra hand gestures and dance.
The bell or drilbu is the feminine aspect or the perfection of wisdom, which directly realizes emptiness.
The vajra or dorje represents the male aspect, as method or skillful means, the indestructible nature of the absolute. Together they symbolize the blessing mandala of a practitioner’s main yidam deity.
The letters on the top of the bell are, to the east ཏྃ, to the south པྃ, to the west མྃ, to the north ལྃ, to the southeast བྃ, to the southwest ཙུྃ, to the northwest བྷྲིཾ, to the northeast མྃ. These are the heart syllables of the dakinis. The face on the handle is a dakini’s face, on the east , the side of the ཏྃ syllable. There is a vase under the dakini’s face decorated with pendant ornaments.”
The daka’s, or hero’s bell is the same as above, but without the bone ornaments and dakini syllables. There is no ornamentation on the bell.
The budda’s, or tathagata’s bell is the same as Vajrasattva’s bell, but instead the bone ornaments there are dharma wheels. This bell can have only five-pronged half-vajra handle. Inside the bell there is an tongue or clapper that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.
The bell is empty, symbolizing the dharmadhatu, emptiness beyond extremes. The bell’s clapper symbolizes the clitoris of the Dhatvishvari. The eight sides of the tongue of the bell symbolize the eight subtle channels. The face symbolizes Vajrasattva’s consort, Vajratopa
