The Power of Sound Coming From Gongs

Gongs are believed to be a symbol of good fortune, and touching a gong is thought to bring a someone true happiness, sound health, and immense strength. During the ancient times, it was believed that before the worlds existed, with a single sound of a gong, the whole universe was created, and was the primordial sound of OM.

The gong is divine and  a transformational instrument of sound, which has been used for rites, ceremonial occasions, prayer, and meditation since the Bronze Age, and by many civilizations across the world. Its sound is relaxing and becalming, riveting and energizing, transforming and healing. The gong resonates all the cells of the body simultaneously and is useful in resolving affectional and physiological dissonance.

And until today, the gong and the sound it creates is still regarded of high value. Gongs are played to announce the presence of someone royal or regal in nature, such as the kings, queens, emperors, princes and princesses. The belief about the power of gongs has been passed on from generation to generation. And today, you will notice that most temples still have the ancient gongs, most especially the Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, Indians, and other nationalities and tribes found in the Asian region, and the most renowned of all are those from the Buddhists. Gongs have become a part of their culture and history, and will remain an essential symbol in the generations to come.
