Tibetan Echo Gong – Cosmic Harmony Design

• Pure Raw Materials: 100% Bronze. Crafted exclusively from pure materials for sound purity. A specific ratio of copper and tin is used to achieve the right durability, allowing for a thinner profile that provides optimum vibration.
• Shape: The gong has a circular, slightly convex shape, which directly contributes to stable, long-lasting sound and vibrations.

At the heart of this gong, the artist has carefully selected and arranged symbols to create a harmonious visual and spiritual experience. The design begins with the Bindu at the center, a golden circle that symbolizes the point of origin and spiritual unity, serving as the focal point for meditation. From this central Bindu, the design radiates outward into a complex mandala, showcasing a multitude of symbolic elements. Here is a closer look at each:

Tree of Life: This symbol represents the interconnectedness of all life forms, with its roots grounding in existence and branches reaching towards enlightenment, embodying growth and the flow of life energy.

Om Symbols: Scattered around the mandala, these symbols encapsulate the sacred sound of the universe, 'Om', representing the essence of spiritual vibration, the connection between the physical and spiritual realms, and the universal consciousness.

Geometric Patterns: The design features circles, triangles, and other geometric shapes. Circles often symbolize celestial bodies, hinting at the vastness of the cosmos, while triangles align with the chakra system, illustrating the energy centers within us, promoting a balance between external cosmic forces and our internal energy landscape.

Enlightenment Yantra: Positioned at the bottom of the design, this complex pattern is traditionally used for meditation. It guides towards spiritual insight by embodying cosmic truths through its intricate geometry, serving as a visual map for enlightenment.

Phases of the Moon: Subtly integrated, these phases reflect the cycles of life, change, and the passage of time, adding a layer of dynamic symbolism to the design.

Meditating Figures: Around the outer ring, images of figures in various meditation postures are depicted, emphasising the practice of mindfulness and the pursuit of inner peace.

Chakra Symbols: Various symbols representing the chakras are included, each corresponding to different energy centers in the body, from the root to the crown, symbolizing the journey of energy awakening and balance.

Lotus Flowers: Representing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, lotus flowers are woven into the design, symbolizing the potential for spiritual growth and the journey from the mud of material existence to the bloom of spiritual awakening.

Sacred Geometry: Beyond the basic geometric shapes, the design includes intricate patterns of sacred geometry, like the Flower of Life and Sri Yantra, which are believed to hold deep significance, representing the fundamental forms of space and time.
