A small sized Chöd Drum (damaru) is a hand crafted ritual instrument. The sound is unsurpassed. Each drum is created using accurate and traditional centuries old methods. Only fine quality wood is used. Each drum has a cotton handle, which helps give comfortable support when playing for long periods. Cowrie shells are also stitched into the band that wraps around the drum. Includes a high quality brocade damaru tail, and a very fine brocade carrying case, which helps protect the drum when not in use. Each case is lined with red felt, which helps absorb moisture from the air.
Comes with a free cd to learn how to use the Chöd Drum.
Chöd practice
The practice of Chö or Choed cultivates fearlessness, certainty and unrelenting compassion, connecting us to our deepest core. The unique combination of sacred song, ritual instruments, meditation and visualisation, creates a rich tapestry that reweaves our everyday experience and redefines our limited sense of self. It is also the practice of ultimate and relentless generosity, pacifying sickness, suffering and spiritual blindness of sentient beings, and healing disturbed environmental energies.
The history of Choed spans over a thousand years, though its real origin is timeless and beyond human conception. With its roots deep in Mahayana Buddhism and Tantric Vajrayana, it has integrated practical elements of Bon and Shamanism, creating a dynamic and powerful personal path of spiritual development and of benefit to others. On this cd you listen to the ritual Choed drum in combination with sacred Tibetan prayers.
