Bell

Since ancient times, temple bells have summoned monks and nuns for meditation and ceremony. The gentle ringing of a bell while chanting helps followers focus on the present and relieve their daily worries. Feelings of peace and tranquility can be enhanced by the sound of a bell. For this reason, wind chimes are often hung on the eaves of stupas and temples to create peaceful and meditative spaces with their tinkling sounds.

The ringing of the bell is a symbol of the voice of the Buddha. It also personifies wisdom and compassion and is used to summon celestial deities to protect and ward off evil spirits. Many old temples have bells at the entrance that you need to ring before entering.
Bells come in a wide variety of sizes and styles.
