The Meinl cast alloy bells are handmade in India according to long held traditional practices. The bell is used in meditations and other rituals within Buddhism, this is traditionally held in the left hand and is a symbol of the feminine principle and stands for wisdom.
The Dorje is not a stand alone instrument, but is the complement to the bell. It is held in the right hand and is the symbol of the masculine principle which stands for prosperity and perfection. Within the Buddhist tradition, these symbols paired together stand for the path to overall enlightenment.
