The Vajra, or Dorje in Tibetan, is the symbol of the method to attain enlightenment. The Ghanta or bell is the symbol of wisdom. You need the two together to become enlightened.</p><p>The Vajra is also called thunderbolt or diamond scepter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Vajrasattva is surrounded by images of the Buddha as he calls the earth to bear witness to his enlightenment. So enlightenment is the theme here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
