Did you know?
In tantric Buddhist ritual, the bell is the most common and essential musical instrument? Well it’s true. In fact, both Gods and glorified lamas hold this popular symbol as well as the thunderbolt, in their hands. I just carry a purse.
The elemental nature of the bell both sounds and functions auspiciously, to drive away evil spirits. Like the church bell, the Buddhist hand bell sends the message to evil spirits that they must stay far away from the consecrated area. where the ritual is being performed. I wonder if that includes evil ex- boyfriends? Probably not.
