The Tibetan dril-bu (bell) and dorje (scepter) are indispensable liturgical instruments used during Tibetan Buddhist ritual recitation.
These items are essential symbols of Tibetan Buddhism as well part of the sadhana or spiritual practice. They are meditation instruments which last a lifetime.
"The bell is held in the left hand and the scepter in the right as both hands gracefully move in prescribed gestures that serve as a commentary to the recitation."
As a pair, they reflect the two aspects of Buddhist practice: method and wisdom, intuition and compassion.
The face appearing on the bell's handle is associated with Transcendent Insight. The elegant prongs emerging from the mouths of makaras (sea monsters and guardian spirits) and forming the ends of these ritual objects have their roots in Indic and Greek mythology. The prongs recall the thunderbolt scepter of Indra, a Hindu warrior god who governs rain, clouds, and lightning. The Tibetan scepter refers to the immovable, steadfast ("diamond-hard") consciousness of Buddha.
