Ganta
The Ultimate Universal Symbol of Transcendent
Ganta
Wisdom - The Feminine Principle
Vajra
Known as a Vajra in Sanscrit & Dorje in Tibetan, this is the consort that represents Buddha and Purity.
Vajra
The Transcendental state of Emptiness.
Compassion - The Masculine Principle
To achieve enlightenment these two principles must be combined.
The sound of the Ganta (bell) is regarded as Auspicious in Tibet and is used to drive away negative attachments.
The Ganta and Vajra (Dorje) are always used together.
In practice, the ringing of the bell calls beings to practice, and warns off malign influences and is also a musical offering.
