Tibetan tingsha are traditionally used for meditation, ritual ceremonies and as an elegant and powerful decorative element. All our tingsha are hand cast with a traditional 7-metal alloy to produce a powerful harmonic resonance. Each one is strung on a dark cotton cord.
The eight auspicious gifts of symbols of the Buddha (known in Sanskrit as Ashtamangala) is soaked in rich spiritual sybolism (see below). Legend has it that at the time of Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) all heavenly beings united and offered him these divine gifts.
