Tingshas and altar bells

More about this category

Brass tingshas (two small cymbals joined by a leather cord) and engraved altar bells, to mark a moment.

How to use them

The tingsha is struck on the edge, the two cymbals against each other: the clear note marks the start or the end of a meditation. The altar bell is shaken with a flick of the wrist.
