About This Instrument

Tingsha cymbals are among the most precisely tuned instruments in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition — small enough to hold in one hand but capable of producing a tone of extraordinary clarity and sustain that cuts through mental noise with remarkable efficiency. Struck together or separated by the cord that joins them, they ring with a single, pure pitch that invites immediate stillness. The engraved symbols on the surface carry iconographic meaning within the Tibetan system. Includes a protective pouch.

Harmonic Philosophy

Tingsha cymbals are used in Tibetan Buddhist ritual to mark the beginning and end of meditation periods. Their pure, long-sustaining ring is said to dispel mental distraction and invite the mind to settle into its natural clarity.
