Laughing
Buddha Chimes
In Buddhism, the
use of gongs, bells and chimes are thought to clear the mind from the
haziness of constant thought, and to awaken ones spirituality. The sounds
of bell tolls are also thought to be an aid against evil spirits. Our
collection of brass chimes features Pu-tai, a Buddhist monk whose
jolly nature and large belly led to his being caricatured as the "Laughing
Buddha." Hang it where peace and tranquility is needed. 17" length.

Tibetan
Gongs
It is believed
that gongs were first used in Asia around 6th century AD. However, its
origin is still unknown since the ancient Romans also used gongs around the
1st or 2nd century. In Asia, gongs were originally used to protect against
evil spirits, and even today the Iban people of Borneo, Indonesia, beat
gongs during a storm. Over time, they evolved to become signal devices,
ceremonial items, and percussion instruments. In China they symbolize
prosperity and mark social status. The gong is a significant accompaniment
in shaman music in Korea. In Japan, the use of gongs vary from temple to
theatre to folk festival. 5 ornate bells range from 0.75" ~ 2.0" diameter.
Gong is 10" length X 6.0" height; mallet is 2.25" length. Made of Alloy.

Temple
Bell
Although the
basic designs were adopted from neighboring Asian cultures, these Korean
temple bells have their own aesthetic styles different from China or Japan.
One characteristic is the single dragon -- instead of a pair -- standing
upright, firmly gripping the bell in its mouth. The designs on the bell
surface also distinguish Korean styles, featuring four squares, each with a
set of nine dots, and characters seeking longevity and fortune. Listen to
its melodic tone by sounding the bell with the chained striker. In Korea,
bells are mainly used in Buddhist ceremonies and in temples. Brass. 8"
height X 5.25" width X 5.25" length.
