Tibetan Cymbals with 8 Auspicious Symbols
Ancient Tibetan cymbals made with 7 metals, complete with an all-copper Custodio. The Custodio measures 11 cm in diameter, while each cymbal has a diameter of 9 cm. Each cymbal is engraved with 8 auspicious Tibetan symbols (tashi dargyal), good luck charms from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. A unique piece, ideal for meditation, rituals or as a collection item.
The "Tashi dargyal" symbols are the Eight Auspicious Tibetan Symbols, deeply connected to the Buddhist tradition. Each has a special meaning:
-
Parasol: spiritual protection and compassion
-
Victory Banner: overcoming obstacles and the success of the Dharma
-
Vase: prosperity, spiritual perfection, long life
-
Dharma Wheel: universal Buddhist teaching, cyclicality, practice
-
Lotus Flower: purity, spiritual enlightenment
-
Conch Shell: spread of Dharma, abandonment of ignorance
-
Endless Knot: interdependence, wisdom, eternity
-
Golden Fish: freedom from suffering, omen of a serene life
These symbols depicted on the cymbals are considered bearers of good fortune, wisdom, and protection in Tibetan culture.
