This tingsha features the Om symbol which represents the vibrational sound that created the universe. The tingshas are hand cast by Tibetan artisans using methods passed down from generation. These prayer chimes have been used for centuries by Tibetan Buddhists to prepare for meditation. When the two pieces strike each other they produce a clear, pure, cleansing sound which can be used to focus the mind before and after meditation. Tingshas can be used for space clearing to remove negative energies. Size 2.25 inch diameter.
