 Tibetan Brass Tingsha Bell Cymbals Mantra Chanting

Tibetan tingsha bells are small cymbals used in prayer and rituals by Tibetan Buddhist and Yoga practitioners. Two bells are joined together by a leather strap or chain. The cymbals are struck together producing a clear and high pitched tone.


The Tingsha Bells are usually accompanied by other Tibetan singing bowls, gong sounds, or crystal bowls, and other instruments, whether you are hearing it live or on a record. These sounds and instruments are great to listen to during your yoga or meditation practice.

 Dimensions (approx.)

  • Diameter 6.5 cm

 

  • Unconscious State: The top curl of the ‘3’ shape denotes deep sleep, where we subconsciously desire nothing and do not dream
  • Waking State: Represented by the large curve at the base of the ‘3’ shape, this state signifies conscious experience through the five senses
  • Dreaming State: The middle curve that juts out between the Waking and Unconscious states, where all dreams are experienced
  • Maya State: The semi-circle at the top represents illusion, an obstacle to spiritual development and the highest state of consciousness
  • Absolute State: Represented by the dot at the top, the highest realm of consciousness looks neither outward nor inward - the ultimate state of spiritual bliss.

How to Play Tingsha Bells

The bells are not very thin like musical cymbals they are actually quite thick. They are also not used like musical cymbals, by banging the two flatter surfaces together. They are played by hitting the two edges together and then allowing them to move apart from each other so that the tone can resonate throughout the room.
