Tingsha

How To play Tingsha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tibetan tingsha (or Ting-Sha) ( Wylie: ting-shags) are small cymbals used in prayer and rituals by Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. Two cymbals are joined together by a leather strap or chain. The cymbals are struck together producing a clear and high pitched tone. Typical sizes range from 2.5 to “4 inches in diameter. Tingsha are very thick and produce a unique long ringing tone. Antique tingsha were made from special bronze alloys that produce harmonic overtones.
Traditionally, however, tingsha are used as part of specific Tibetan rituals, such as offerings to "hungry ghosts." While they are commonly found today in musical recordings and yoga classes, their real function is as a religious ritual tool.

Tingsha originated in Tibet and are part of traditional Buddhist practices for prayer and meditation rituals. When they are struck together they produce a unique tone that can be used for energy balancing and special clearing.
They are not only used in Buddhism but also extensively in other various religious practices around the world. You use them by hanging the bells by a leather cord, one in each hand and then striking them together.
One of the most frequent uses for Tingsha cymbals is space clearing because it is believed that when the cymbals are tapped together they provide a unique and identical bell sound that cleanses the air and create a pure environment.
The sound is believed to help clear low and negative vibrational energies. People can use space clearing when they move into new homes or start working at a new job. After you have been sick they can also help to clear a house of negative energy or illness and make the entire area healthier and refreshed.

Toning is also another common use for Tingsha cymbals, a traditional therapy technique that can help to get rid of mental stress and anxiety. It also helps to heal negative energy and restore healthy brainwaves as well as promoting a healthy flow of energy throughout the body.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.
