Tingsha cymbals are small, thick cymbals that come in a flat, circular shape, often made of bronze or other metal alloys, and connected by a leather strap. They serve as a traditional instrument for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners to use during prayer and rituals. When struck together, tingsha cymbals produce a clean, high, and resonant tone that is said to perform a cleansing or purifying effect on the environment and the individual.

Tingsha cymbals have a variety of applications, including:

Meditation and Yoga: They are often used as a beginning or ending signal for a meditation or yoga section that allows participants to "center" or focus to attain a level of inner peace. The sound aids in reducing mental chatter to only remain in the present moment, a sound many achieve during inner silence.

Sound Healing and Therapy: The unique sound and vibrations of tingsha are used in sound healing to relax the client, reduce stress and then restore energy balance. The high frequency sound is thought to clear stagnant or negative energy from a space, or from a person's individual aura.

Rituals: In Tibetan Buddhism, they are used, or domestic alter, as part of ceremony and rituals to help indicate transitions, calling in deities, and clearing any negative energies.
