In Tibetan Buddhism, the vajra (dorje) and bell (ghanta) are essential ritual instruments, representing the inseparable union of method (compassion) and wisdom (emptiness). Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) is frequently depicted holding these items, symbolizing his mastery over the indestructible nature of reality and enlightenment.
Symbolism and Use
Vajra (Method): Represents compassion and skillful means, functioning as a “diamond scepter” that represents indestructible awareness-energy.
Bell (Wisdom): Represents the clear, space-like nature of wisdom, with its sound symbolizing the impermanence of phenomena arising from and returning to silence.
Combined: Used together, they signify the union of the male (vajra) and female (bell) aspects, representing the ultimate realization of emptiness and bliss.
Usage: They are employed in rituals to invoke deities, remove obstacles, and remind practitioners to connect with their own inherent enlightened nature.
Guru Rinpoche’s Connection
Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and is often associated with the Vajra Guru mantra (“OM AH HUNG VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM”), which encapsulates the blessing of his enlightened mind, acting as a “vajra” in the form of sound. In his manifestation as Orgyen Dorje Chang, he is depicted holding these items, emphasizing his role as the ultimate holder of Vajrayana teachings.
In Vajrayana Buddhism, the damaru (hand drum), bell (ghanta), and vajra (dorje) are essential ritual instruments that symbolize the path to enlightenment through the union of dualities. Practitioners often use these tools during sadhana (daily practice) or communal pujas to increase devotion and receive blessings from deities.
The Damaru (Hand Drum) The damaru is a small, double-sided hourglass drum.
Symbolism: It represents the “sound of Sunyata” (emptiness) and the rhythm of the cosmic heartbeat. In tantric practice, its sound is used to summon enlightened wrathful deities and cut through mental delusions.
Chöd Damaru: A larger version used specifically in the Chöd practice to symbolize the impermanence of the body and the ego.
Usage: Held in the right hand and played with a rapid twisting motion of the wrist, allowing two beaters on strings to strike the drumheads.
Regularly working with the psoas (muscle of the soul) through the 5 Tibetan Rites can help transition from a state of chronic stress (tight) to a state of ease and “soulful” connection (released).
The purpose of Sacred Tao Wisdom is to build higher dimensional lightbody for healing and transformation. – Master Sha
Lamas and Qigong masters have demonstrated the use of Qigong to develop your Energy Bubble, Electromagnetic Field (EMF), or Soul Lightbody by rooting down to earth’s EMF when intented for self-defense, healing and enlightenment. As an integral system of Oriental medicine, Qigong is based on the coherence of human energy fields within the universal flow of Qi, or life force from heaven and earth accompanied with the blissful expanded sense of oneness and physical, mental, emotional and spiritual equanimity.
The practice of Zhan Zhuang Qigong aligns the body’s EMF with the Earth’s EMF and enables the body to root down, and increase our ability to induct and conduct this EM force. The longer, and the more you train, the stronger your electromagnetic field (EMF) gets. This is essentially how Lin Kong Jing, the empty force, manifests when called on for healing, transformation or self-defense.
The practice of Sacred Tao Wisdom (Tao calligraphy with Tao meditation), Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong (or Wuji Qigong) with 13-posture Tai Chi aligns the body’s EMF with the Earth’s EMF and heaven’s Tian Qi, spiritual divine energy, purifying the physical body, calming the emotional body, and opening the heart/ elevating the Spirit together with building the Three Treasures – Jing, Qi and Shen – developing the Energy Bubble (Lightbody) leading to whole body enlightenment, as opposed to head enlightenment taught by other popular yoga schools that cause negative after-effects of post kundalini syndromes.
The practice of Earth Qigong, as an important component of the Enlightenment Qigong forms, accesses the Earth’s “Di Qi” and energy body to develop and expand your energy body’s connection with the Cosmic Christ (Buddhic) consciousness grid – the unified field of the planet’s energy body and its consciousness together with universal consciousness. This is based on the principle of interconnectedness or oneness which states that we are interconnected with the whole cosmos (earth, sun, moon, solar system, stars) or universe and each other.

The practice of Heaven Qigong, as another important component of the Enlightenment Qigong forms, replenishes the heaven’s “Tian Qi” or spiritual divine energy to develop strong internal Qi, especially when fused with the Earth’s “Di Qi” derived from Earth Qigong practice. Healing and enlightenment are made possible through the awakening of the kundalini by opening and activation of the 5 energy gateways – crown of the head, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet – by the combined practice of Heaven and Earth Qigong in the ancient heart opening lineage Enlightenment Qigong Forms.
Through the practice of Enlightenment Qigong forms such as Sacred Tao Wisdom (Tao calligraphy and Tao meditation), Tao Healing Hands, Pan Gu Shengong, Primordial Wuji Qigong, Sheng Zhen Qigong, 13-posture Tai Chi and Maitreya sitting Qigong together with Tibetan Shamanic Qigong, the body and mind become very calm. This state of peace allows the heart to open to its natural state of unconditional love. The unconditional love (Sheng Zhen) of the universe floods into and out of the heart of the practitioner, producing a state of wholeness, of oneness with All. When one arrives at this altered Qigong state, there is a sense of merging with everything everywhere. The practitioner returns to his natural state, a state of perfect well-being.
NOTE by Ricardo B Serrano, certified Qigong teacher: The Sacred Tao wisdom taught in the Grand Unification (Tao Chang) practice workshop by Dr. Rulin Xiu, and in a 5-week workshop by Tao Grandmaster Zhi Gang Sha is solely for uplifting the practitioner’s wisdom and abilities to heal and transform by cultivating the Jing essence and Yuan Qi in the energy centers in the lower abdomen to reach Tao and soul enlightenment, and not for teaching Tao wisdom calligraphy to others.
Tao that is voiced is no longer that of eternal Tao;
The name that has been written is no longer that of eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of the cosmic universe;
The named is the mother of myriad creatures.
Being at peace, one can see into the subtle.
Engaging with passion, one can see into the manifest.
They both arise from a common source but have different names;
Both are called the mystery within the mystery.
The are the door to all wonders.
— Chapter One in Tao Te Ching
