These brass tingshas are decorated with the Ohm symbol and the lotus . Tingshas are small Tibetan cymbals used during meditation, spiritual rituals, and for cleansing spaces.
Tingshas, also known as ding-shas, consist of two metal discs connected to each other. Striking the discs against each other produces a clear, high-pitched tone that resonates for a long time.
Traditionally, tingshas have been used as musical offerings during pujas and other spiritual rituals. Nowadays, they are also used by people who meditate or wish to mark a moment of mindfulness.
A tingsha can be used, for example:
In feng shui, tingshas are used to circulate energy in a space. By sounding the tingshas in the different corners of a room, the space is cleansed by sound, as it were. This can be an alternative to cleansing with, for example, smudge.
The clear sound of a tingsha can help to open or close a meditation and bring attention to the present moment. Tingshas are also used in sound therapy and healing.
The tingshas are decorated at the top with the Ohm symbol and the lotus . Within various Indian spiritual traditions, Ohm represents the universal sound. The lotus is often seen as a symbol of transformation.
Each tingsha is individually cast from a metal alloy. This version is made of brass , an alloy consisting primarily of copper and zinc.
