Tingsha meditaatio Symbaalit 6cm (koristelematon)

Tingshas (also known as ding-shats or cymbals) are small, usually metal, musical instruments used especially in the Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu traditions. They consist of two round plates that are struck together to produce a clear, high-pitched, resonant sound. The sound of the tingshas is believed to have a powerful purifying and concentration-enhancing effect.

Uses of Tingsho:
1. Meditation: Tingsho are used during meditation to maintain focus. Cymbals are played at regular intervals at the beginning and end of a meditation session, helping to calm the mind and bring presence to the moment.

2. Spiritual rituals: Tingshas are common in pujas (prayer rituals) and are often used in conjunction with other instruments such as bells and drums. They are part of the musical offerings performed in spiritual rituals.

3. Feng Shui: In Feng Shui, tingsho are used to cleanse the energy of a room. They are played in the four corners of a room to balance the energy and "open" the space. This can be especially helpful when burning incense is not possible.

4. Healing and Balancing: Tingsho are also used for healing and balancing energies. Their sound can harmonize the auric field and create a calming environment.

The meaning of Tingsho:
- Sound resonance. The sound produced by the Tingsho resonates in the human heart and helps raise the level of awareness and concentration. Its clear, pure sound can help purify the environment and the mind.
- Symbolism: The decoration of tingshos can feature various spiritual symbols, such as dragons, the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" or Buddhist auspicious signs, which add to the spiritual value and significance of the object.

Composition of Tingsho:
Tingshas are usually made of brass or bronze, which are alloys of copper and other metals. Bronze tingshas produce a stronger harmonic resonance, which makes their sound particularly deep and impressive.
