Traditionally used as ritual objects in Tibetan Buddhism, the bell is held in the left hand and the dorje in the right. They represent passive and active qualities analogous to the yin and yang concepts in Chinese tradition and also the union of wisdom and compassion.

Tingsha

These miniature cymbals have exceptional resonance and are used to summon ‘hungry ghosts’ to accept offerings. The belief is that in making an offering and relieving the hunger of these ravenous spirits, their suffering is diminished and Enlightenment can thereby be reached.

Singing Bowls

These bowls are made from an amalgam of up to seven metals and are hand turned on a lathe before being hammered to the desired hardness and pitch. They are struck to produce sounds as an aid to meditation. The sound of a Tibetan singing bowl is like a hum - natural, harmonious and deep. The secrets of the bowls are now experimented in the areas of healing, meditation, as well as the purifying of negative impulses.
