■Additional Product Information■Tingsha (Tibetan: ཏིང་ཤགས་, Wylie: ting-shags) are “a pair of small metal cymbals” used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals and meditation.
They are connected by a string or leather cord, and striking the two together produces a high-pitched, clear, and beautiful sound.
Their main meanings and uses are as follows:
Purification of the space: They are rung to dispel negative energies from the space, mind, and body, and to harmonize the atmosphere.
Signal for meditation and yoga: They are used to mark the beginning and end of yoga and meditation sessions, or as a signal to focus and awaken the mind.
As ritual implements in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, they hold deep spiritual significance and are widely used today as healing tools.
At 6.4 mm thick, it is exceptionally substantial and produces a unique, long-lingering tone.——Reference Number: Buddha
