Item #FBT41:
Bronze Tibetan Hand Bell and Puja Stick

Item #FBD54:
Brass Bell and Dorje with Striker

Frequently used within Buddhist rituals, the bell and Dorje are powerful symbols, referring to masculine and feminine powers within the universe. The Dorje is actually viewed by some as a weapon, or the irresistible power of spirituality. The bell in turn is viewed as a representative of the wisdom of emptiness, and the serenity found within. Together they represent the balance of these masculine and feminine powers, and the enlightenment found in wisdom and compassion.

In this case, the bell and dorje are skillfully crafted of brass. The bell measures approximately 3 1/5" in diameter and 6" high, and is engraved with a repeating pattern reminiscent of the traditional patterns found in the tools of Tibet. The dorje, possessing somewhat of a more golden coloring than the bell, measures only 4" long and fits easily into your hand or between your fingers. Also coming with the set is a 5 1/2" long wooden striker, allowing you to ring the bell within your ceremony by striking its rim.

Item #FGON17: Gong
18" Diameter

This archetypical instrument can be used to signify the beginning of spells, ceremonies, and all manner of ritual practices. As with many other bells, the gong is believed to be of wonderful use in meditation and prayer, and can be wrung to help create spiritual vibrations that can dispel negativity and attract the positive. Indeed, the distinctive notes of its ring (which vary slightly depending on where the gung is struck), cannot help but to stir the sense that something important is starting or ending whenever the sound reaches your ears.

This particular gong has been hand-crafted from fine brass, resulting in an instrument that rings with beautifully pure notes when it is struck. Measuring approximately 18" in diameter, its outer rim is approximately 3" deep, while the rounded, convex bell at its center extends outward over 1", and measures 5" in diameter. These varying surfaces provide you with many opportunities to experiment, and create varied sounds. Coming with a wood-handled, felt-lined mallet, the hammered brass still displays the hammer marks of those who created it. Hang it from its leather strap within your sacred space, and bring good vibrations to your sanctuary.
