Tingsha with dragon motif - 6.7 cm

Traditional tingsha cymbals with dragon motifs

These tingsha cymbals are made of brass and decorated with a traditional dragon motif. In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes strength, wisdom, and prosperity, among other things, and the motif is commonly found on ceremonial objects.

When the cymbals are brought together, a clear and sustained tone is created, often used to mark the beginning or end of meditation, ceremony, or other personal practice. Many also appreciate the pure sound of the tingshan to focus attention and create a moment of stillness.

Tingshors have long been used in Tibetan Buddhism and other Asian traditions, where they appear in meditation, prayers and ceremonies along with other instruments such as bells, drums and horns.
