During meditation, prayers, or ceremonial rites, its resonating tone is thought to bring benefits and create a sacred atmosphere. For practitioners, collectors, and spiritual seekers, the Buddhist Ritual Conch is a necessary tool. It embodies the ideas of enlightenment, spiritual protection, and disseminating the teachings of the Buddha.
Introduction to Sankha
In Buddhist worship, the conch shell is used as a trumpet or offertory receptacle and represents Buddha's spoken voice. It is one of the eight auspicious Buddhist symbols, reflecting the victory of the Buddha's teachings, which spread omnidirectionally like the sound of a conch shell. The conch shell is a symbol of power, authority, and sovereignty; its sound is believed to ward off evil spirits, prevent natural disasters, and deter dangerous creatures.
