Rag-Dung

This striking instrument is made of copper and used in rituals by providing a drone for chanting. The straight and conical bored horn varies in length from 3 feet to 20 feet! It is usually made in sections that can be telescoped for portability. The horn has shallow cup mouthpiece that resembles the western bugle and is capable of producing different tones.

Bell and Dorje

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.
