of the instrument itself that he deigns to become a mount for the shaman during the trip.
Small drums in shamanism gained fame in the twentieth century due to the persecution of shamans by Tibetan Buddhists, and then the Communists, due to their quieter sound compared to a tambourine and ease of carrying.
In addition, tingshi are used in healing. They emit a very melodic sound, with a resonance effect similar to singing bells and bowls. Therefore, by their high and sonorous sound, it is possible to restore the flow of energy that was blocked, to clear the space or room. Tingsha is also recommended to be used at the beginning and at the end of any esoteric or therapeutic procedure, since they have a grounding effect.
On tingshi the image of the mantra "Om mani padme hum".
Mostly this phrase, despite its Indian origin, is used in Tibet and Mongolia. In common parlance, it is simply called "mani."
This "queen of mantras" and she has many sacred meanings. One of them says that these sounds can awaken the divine nature in every person, they purify the person, removing a kind of veil of habits and emotions that prevent the body and mind from opening up, and also provide knowledge of the truth.
It is also capable of attracting positive qualities to a person, transforming what prevents enlightenment into what contributes to him.
The word "om" is able to cope with vanity and pride. "Mani" suppresses jealousy, envy, selfishness. Padme is pronounced against ignorance, stupidity and greed. And “hum” pacifies anger and hatred.
Each syllable that makes up this phrase also has a sacred meaning. So, “om” gives a person generosity, “ma” - gives him the opportunity to lead a right and dignified life, “neither” - brings patience, “pad” - causes the ability not only to use effort, but also to rejoice him, “me” - helps meditation, and “hum” develops wisdom.
