Damaru and Kangling

Post by jet.urgyen »

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask where can i buy a traditional-made damaru and/or kangling, and how much time does the kangling lasts. I'm thinking on future generations of practitioners while looking at the bill.

Best regards.

seems to be that damaruworks have more concern on this matter, however i would like to know opinions and/or facts about the choices

i've been reading and kanglings for example have an high amount of characteristics, ritualistic and physical

Seems damaruworks have upgraded since it was known as Tibetan healing Chod. It is run. Y American Lama Jinpa..who is very knowledgeable about Chod but there was some controversy some time back. This shouldn't make any difference in buying from him( if the price is right). Kanglings need to be quite specific, you can use wood if bone is unavailable.

I would go with Garudashop. Run by a great practitioner and excellent quality products. And, maybe just as important, he gives the people he buys from a very fair price.
