The Tibetan bell is a venerable instrument woven into the sound practices. Its presence is ubiquitous, gracing Tibetan monasteries as a pivotal ritual artifact, often complemented by the vajra. Esteemed experts posit that the bell's resonant tones foster mental lucidity, while also purifying and amplifying energy.
