Vajra & Bell: Part I

The vajra scepter and the bell with a vajra handle are two of the three principal religious objects of Vajrayana Buddhism. The third ritual object is the mala, prayer beads. There are many different explanations of the symbolic meanings of the vajra and bell. The meanings can vary depending on the different tantra literature or cycle of Tantric practice. A general explanation describes the five pronged vajra scepter as representing twenty-eight (28) deities and the bell representing twenty-three deities (23).

Great episode! Maybe one day the other phurbas can be covered... plus the mantras and uses to be taught over as well 😉 Cheers to spreading the truth of all and everything!

I find it ironic or perhaps coincidental that the ad for this video was for tinnitus; this is something that I have been experiencing for years since I was handed a vajra in a dream. I came to the conclusion that the ringing related to the dojre bell, so I am kinda flabbergasted that this ad for stopping tinnitus would be featured here... I actually do not want it to ever stop because I think it is a symptom of being "tuned in" and may be the purpose of the Dojre bell, to tune us.

Do I need vajra and bell on my altar? I only have cymbals. I've recycled my rosay into prayer beads.

Shaking a bell and holding something with great power DOESN'T summon Demons.....
Are you sure of that...?

Ppl say Hinduism is mythology but when something is more advanced and incomprehensible it is labeled mythology. Slowly, ancient knowledge is being revised and presented as new technology.

[@mittusharma3824]

he is taling about vajrayana buddhism not your hinduism, grow up kid and yes mythologies are mythologies nothing else, a flying monkey can't eat the sun.

Hey, 👋 have you heard of the creative society... The vajra technology will soon be given to man, for healing purposes

[@ManusecaKali]

I'm gladly surprised to finally found a white person well explaining what Vajra is without interpretation from his own culture, words and projections.

I know it's out of context but the investigator is a very good looking mature man bet he was smoking hot when he was young..😋
