What's the difference between a diamond pestle and a musical instrument?

King Kong: It's Dorje, with lanterns at both ends.

Jingangwei: There is a Buddha statue at one end and a triangular tip at the other.

Magic pestle: one end is lantern-shaped, and the other end is triangular tip.

Second, the conceptual differences:

Vajrayana, the vajrayana in Tibetan, or Dorje, was originally a weapon in ancient India. Because of its hard texture, it can break all kinds of substances, so it is called diamond pestle.

King Kong, originally a weapon, was later absorbed as an artifact by Tibetan Buddhism. It is made of various materials, such as copper, silver, wood and ivory. Similar in appearance and sharp in blade, but different in handle decoration and use.

The magic pestle is the magic pestle of King Kong, and the Tibetan pronunciation is translated into Ba Pu pestle, also known as causal pestle. It is a musical instrument in Tibetan Buddhism and originally belonged to a weapon in ancient India. Now it is quoted by Buddhism as one of the instruments.

Third, the functional differences:

During tantric practice, Vajrayana was erected at the four corners of the altar to ward off evil spirits, so that the Dojo was as strong as Vajrayana and all obstacles could not be invaded.

The vajra, a symbol of the wisdom of the Tathagata King Kong, can break the inner demons of ignorance and delusion and the heretics of evil spirits.

The magic pestle is different in texture, origin and shape. There are wood, iron, copper and so on.

Extended data:

Buddhist instruments, in a broad sense, are all the solemn Buddhist altars in the temple, which are used for praying for blessings, practicing dharma, offering sacrifices and practicing dharma. Or Buddha beads, Zhang Xi, etc. What the Buddha carries is collectively referred to as implements, also known as Buddhist tools, Buddhist tools, props and so on. In a narrow sense, it refers to small Buddhist objects placed in front of the Buddha, especially for tantric practice.

There are many kinds of musical instruments with different uses, sizes and shapes; That is to say, musical instruments with the same name are very different in form because of the differences in materials, crafts, sects and times. Generally speaking, the so-called Buddhist arts and crafts are nothing more than instruments. According to the purpose, the utensils can be divided into six types: solemn utensils, Buddha-offering utensils, timers, containers, walkers and tantric special utensils.
