A stunning addition to any home, this gong has a beautiful tone that shimmers and changes as the gong's vibrations slowly cease. A real wonder and a great find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese instrument makers have made gongs for thousands of years and are deserving of their reputation of making the best in the world. Many processes go into creating the special sound of a Chinese Gong, including fine toning as a result of hand-hammering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Buddhism, the gong is sounded at the start and end of each day. In Chinese temples, gongs are struck 108 times because it's believed that sentient beings have 108 types of worries. The teaching is this — upon hearing the gong, worries will cease, wisdom will grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing has the ability to transport us to another time and place quite like the brilliant resonance of a gong. For over a thousand years, gongs of various types have played an important role in both the religious and secular music of many Asian cultures.
