About Damarus

The damaru is one of the key ritual implements within the tantric practices of Tibetan Buddhism. Representing the accomplishment of great bliss, it is played with the right hand, proclaiming the sound of emptiness.

The two sides of the damaru represent method and wisdom; the combination of both is the key to our enlightenment. The long tail-like ornament is the pendant (chopen) which represents the victory banner symbolic of proclaiming triumph in vanquishing our inner maras.
