Review(s) for Tibetan Ting-Sha & Book Set

Pack information: Traditional handmade cymbals create sacred sound for spiritual growth
Author: Robert Beer

Anyone who has heard the dramatic yet calming sound of the ting-sha will never forget it. Used by Tibetan Buddhist monks to help guide the spirit of a person between death and rebirth, and to summon 'hungry ghosts' to imbibe the essence of burned food offerings, these beautiful instruments have a unique charm and power. This pack contains a pair of ting-sha made in traditional style by Tibetan craftsmen. Each cymbal is embellished with the eight auspicious symbols and the three-syllable mantra Om A Hum - and the sound they make is truly captivating. Robert Beer, noted Buddhist artist and scholar, has written the accompanying guidebook. He provides fascinating background to the symbolic form of ting-sha, describes their traditional use, and shows bow you can use them to create sacred sound for your own spiritual growth.
