• Calm eyes that seem half‑open, half‑dreaming.

• Expresses the quiet bliss of knowing emptiness.

• Smoothly chased metal catching warm, gold‑brown light.

Circle of Sacred Sound — Mantra and Vajras

Around the body runs the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, crisp and deep. 
Its syllables hum through every resonance, body to air to heart.

• Sixteen horizontal vajras wrap the bell in energy.

• Eight levels of mantra line the surface like waves.

• Invokes the universal vibration of compassion.

Web of Awareness — Vajra Network

• Rooted in Tibetan cosmology of stability and light.

• Keeps the tone steady and luminous.

Heart of Resonance — Interior Assembly

Inside hangs a simple, smooth clapper on a straight rod. 
Strike it once, and sound ripples through space like breath.

• Pure metal clapper for bright, lasting tone.

• Symbol of clear, truthful speech.

• Inner seal often bears a tiny Buddha for blessing.
