☛ TINGSHA: INTRODUCTION
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.

☛ ASHTAMANGALA : Introduction
The Ashtamangala is a sacred suite of Eight Auspicious Signs endemic to a number of religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The symbols or “symbolic attributes” are yidam and teaching tools. Not only do these attributes point to qualities of enlightened mindstream, but they are the investiture that ornaments these enlightened “qualities” . Many cultural enumerations and variations of the Ashtamangala are extant.

☛ OM MANI PADME HUM MANTRA:
According to the Buddhism, the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM includes six syllables, each of which has a unique and powerful impact on bringing about change at various levels of our being.
The six syllables purify the six toxic negative emotions that are the outward manifestation of ignorance and drive us to misbehave with our bodies, speech, and minds, bringing about samsara and our suffering inside it.
The mantra transforms pride, envy, want, ignorance, greed, and anger into their true natures, the knowledge of the six Buddha families that manifest in the enlightened mind.
