They are not symbolic alone —
they represent the complete path to awakening:
• The Bell embodies Wisdom (Prajñā) — the realization of emptiness
• The Vajra embodies Method / Compassion (Upāya) — the active force of enlightened activity
👉 Their union expresses the essence of non-dual realization.

The Bell represents:
• Emptiness (Śūnyatā) — ultimate reality
