A traditional Chöd damaru handcrafted from Bawa wood (Bhutanese burl wood) and adorned with five-coloured silks and a brocade girdle decorated with small conch shells. Used during Chöd rituals, the sound of the drum represents impermanence and the cutting of our ego.

The damaru tail (chopen) is made from five-coloured silks, representing the five Buddha families — Vairochana (white), Amoghasiddhi (green), Amitabha (red), Ratnasambhava (yellow) and Akshobhya (blue).

Store respectfully in a clean and nice place when not in use. Includes a traditional brocade protective case.

* As each item is handcrafted, variations in shape, colour and finishing may occur from piece to piece. These do not impact its spiritual function and benefits.

About Chöd Damarus

The Chöd damaru is one of the key ritual instruments for the practice of Chöd, which was established by the Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron. It is one of the most powerful and effective practices for developing non-attachment, overcoming self-grasping and cutting the self-cherishing mind.

During this Tibetan tantric meditation practice, practitioners visualise their bodies transformed into food and other desirable objects for unseen beings to enjoy. This visualisation of sacrificing ourselves for the sake of others assists our cultivation of Bodhicitta.

Usually played with the right hand, the Chöd drum summons dakas and dakinis to the dance of ego-annihilation and summons spirits to the great feast. The sound of the drum represents impermanence and the cutting of our ego.

The long tail-like ornament is the pendant (chopen) which represents the victory banner proclaiming triumph in vanquishing our inner maras. It is made from five-coloured silk fabric, representing the five Buddha families - Vairochana (white), Amoghasiddhi (green), Amitabha (red), Ratnasambhava (yellow) and Akshobhya (blue).
