Tingsha Chimes OM 2.25″ diameter

Om 

The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (literally: “Aum, to the Jewel in the Lotus, hum) is recited by Tibetan Buddhists to invoke Chenrezi, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Repeating this mantra accumulates merit and eases negative karma; meditating upon it is believed to purify the mind and body.

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.
