The following is a funny and yet cute story of my experience with the vajra&bell:
Now I was really interested in this guy that I had not known for very long. We hung out and did stuff often but I was not sure if he liked me. Whenever I was away from him I would wonder if he felt the same way and I missed him. One day I had not heard from him for what seemed like a long time. Later that night I practised the Guru Yoga and when it came to the dedication part, I told GM my feelings and how badly I wanted him to call me!! Afterwards I employed the vajra & bell and proceeded to complete the practice. Later on, I went to check my cellphone and he had indeed called 5-10 minutes before!! Calculating backwards from the completion of the practice to the dedication part, it is roughly 5-10 minutes! He called me after I had done employed the vajra&bell and made my dedication.

Things between us didn't work out but my feelings were still the same. About a month later, I was doing my daily cultivation of the Guru Yoga and when it came to the dedication part I told GM how badly I was waiting for his call!! I proceeded to use the vajra & bell....but this time things were different. I had my cellphone on loud ringer right next to me!! Immediately after I finished employing the vajra & bell, he called me. Now, what are the chances of that...it was a split-second gap. Not only that, but it happened at two different times a month apart! The response generated from the vajra & bell is immediate and expedient!

I have much faith in the vajra&bell now! How powerful it is indeed!

good for you, but remember not to do that too often.
There are blessing power/spiritual protectors on the vajra bells, and they dont like to be tested or teased around :-)

Next time if you try and doesnt work, you will know what I meant :-)

hehe...actually I did not expect anything to happen both times. I think it was the other way around...that it was a joke on me...like when GM was trying to look for a parking spot in Bellevue mall and he chanted a mantra and suddenly the buddha's & bodhisattva's transferred his car to the second level. Later on, GM said that it was a humorous thing by the Buddha's & bodhisattva's.

I haven't been using the vajra & bell too long. I think its just their way of telling me how powerful it is and how important it is to accompany it with my practice.  ;D

        This is actually a very interesting topic... so if you want to say the things you ask for in a sense are wishes... what determines the "vanity" of the wish?  like for example, there are wealth deities in TBS but we are also taught not to become attached to wealth... this is what i mean by "vanity" if you are making the wish for your own cotentment... i dont think this is bad to ask, because if you really think about it, sometimes what you ask for doesnt turn out as great as you had imagined... this is karma and on another note... if its not in your karma to have happen then the deities wont help to make it happen... if your karma is ripe and its "meant" to happen then the deities might assist in its fullfillment...
       the reasons when certain wishes come true and others dont are often beyond comprehension since there are so many factors... i think the best thing to cultivate when it comes to wishes or prayers is to not become attached to weather they come true or not... to wish for things is good... to be attached to what happens after the wish is not good...

That is quite funny to tell you the truth because i have tried the same thing and i was probably about 16 when i did it but to tell you the truth my intentions were quite vain (shame on me!). I was so in puppy love with this girl but she was so bad for me and its alot more complicated if i went deeper which im not but i asked a senior cultivator about why i did not get the desired responce and he said the dieties will only grant your wish in your best interest because they have compassion with wisdom not compassion with out wisdom so they know whats best for you. So in your case i assume the dieties knew there would be no harm done in your request so they answered but if they would of thought it would lead to ingnorance, greed, attatchment ect. then they would have probably ignored you. Haha this was kind of a cute thread. take care
