Tingshas & Singing Bowls

To enter awareness of Zen is to wake up to the here and now. As the vibration of the chime begins, our awareness comes into focus. We are in the moment of the ring as suddenly as the sound begins.

Om Mani Padme Hum, translated as hail to the jewel in the lotus, is the ancient Tibetan mantra or prayer for realizing perfect wisdom and compassion. To simply hear or see the mantra, even without knowing its ultimate meaning, will bring positive karmic results. This traditional rendering shows the mantra in a six petal stylized lotus. The hand-cast tingsha is painted with the lotus design by a skilled Nepali artisan. Hang a cymbal from each hand and gently strike the sides together to release the mantra's cosmic vibration.
