Eight Auspicious Symbols
In Buddhist traditions, the eight symbols are a white parasol, a conch shell, a treasure vase, a victory banner, a dharma wheel, a pair of golden fish, an endless knot, and a lotus flower. These symbols can be found and are used throughout the religion. They may be found on furniture, metalwork, carpets, and ceramics. An auspicious beginning propitious may also apply to beginnings but often implies a continuing favorable condition.
Tingsha are small cymbals used in prayer and rituals by Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. Two cymbals are joined together by a leather strap. The cymbals are struck together, producing a clear and high-pitched tone. Tingsha are very thick and produce a unique long ringing tone.
Tingsha and singing bowls and other instruments are used in meditation, music, and sound healing. Tibetan Buddhists traditionally use them to mark the beginning and end of meditation. A Buddhist master also uses them to bring a student back into focus when his mind wanders during meditation.
Tingsha are also part of specific Tibetan rituals, such as offerings to “hungry ghosts.” While they are commonly found today in musical recordings and yoga classes, their real function is as a religious ritual tool.
The sound is penetrating and purposely dissonant, unlike the harmonic overtones of the Tibetan singing bowls.
