Wind gong
The wind gong, also known simply as a flat gong, is a mesmerizing and versatile percussion instrument that captivates audiences with its unique sound and rich history. Crafted from copper-based alloy, bronze, or brass, the wind gong features a flat, circular shape with a broad surface, allowing for complete and resonant sound production. Unlike traditional gongs with upturned rims, the wind gong lacks a pronounced cylindrical shape, resulting in unobstructed vibrations that create a deep and immersive sound with a wide range of tonal qualities. The wind gong is available in various sizes and offers flexibility for different musical applications, from intimate performances to grand symphonic arrangements.

History:
The wind gong boasts a fascinating history with roots in ancient East and Southeast Asian cultures. Early examples of flat gongs can be traced back to ancient China, where they played a vital role in religious ceremonies, cultural rituals, and social gatherings. Over time, the wind gong's distinctive sound and visual appeal caught the attention of musicians and composers worldwide, leading to its integration into various musical traditions beyond its Asian origins.
Uses:
The wind gong's versatility has made it an essential element in a wide range of musical ensembles and genres. It has found its place in symphony orchestras, where renowned composers and conductors have utilized it to add depth, drama, and mystique to their compositions. Its ability to produce a broad spectrum of tones, from soft and ethereal to powerful and resonant, makes it suitable for creating atmospheric soundscapes, heightening climactic moments, and adding emotional depth to musical performances. In world music, the wind gong has been embraced for its cultural significance and unique timbre, enriching traditional and contemporary compositions alike.
How to Play:
Playing the wind gong requires a skilled percussionist who can unlock its expressive potential. The musician typically holds the gong vertically by a rope or cord attached to the top or a hole near the rim. Striking the wind gong with a soft mallet or beater produces a delicate and haunting sound, while using a harder mallet creates a more pronounced and resonant tone. By experimenting with various striking points and angles on the gong's surface, the player can elicit different harmonics and overtones, creating a dynamic and captivating performance. Additionally, dragging a mallet along the edge of the gong can produce sustained, otherworldly sounds that resonate with the audience. Mastering the art of playing the wind gong requires a keen sense of control, dynamics, and artistry, allowing the performer to unlock its full range of tonal colors and create a truly mesmerizing musical experience.

Medicine Buddha : Brief Introduction
Bhaisajyaguru is known as the Medicine Buddha. He is also called the Healing Buddha. It is said that he dispenses spiritual medicine when properly worshipped. There is even a belief that an efficacious cure may be accomplished by merely touching his image. In Tibet, he may be represented either as a Buddha or as a Bodhisattva. As a Buddha, he exhibits the urn (a small round bulge or protuberance above the bridge of the nose), which is the fourth superior mark of a Buddha, and the Ushnisha (a bulge or protuberance on the top of the Buddha's skull), which is the first superior mark of a Buddha. He has short and curly hair, wears a monastic robe, and is seated with his legs crossed. His left hand, lying in his lap in a meditation mudra, usually holds the medicine bowl, while his right hand, in a charity mudra, holds either a branch with fruit or the fruit alone of the myrobalan, a medicinal plant found in India and other tropical countries.
Iconography Medicine Buddha is the popular term for Bhaisajyaguru and refers to healing blue light transmitted by his representation and conception. Bhaisajyaguru means "Master of Blue Light". His healing energy is transmitted through blue light wave length called Vaydurya light. Medicine Buddha radiates this healing energy. Think of the light as internal chakra energy. The colour blue has been known for its purifying properties since ancient times and the deep blue colour of the Medicine Buddha is directly associated with this blue Vaydurya light energy. The energy source originates in the transparent beryl crystal bowl the Medicine Buddha supports and manifests itself in the deep blue of Lapis Lazuli [Lapis] of his corporeal body. The goldenergy lines [Skt. Chritrini] of his psychic body link all the yogic "vital airs" or energy winds [Skt. Vayus] and form the Beryl healing light energy beryl blue band of the inner aureole representing all the vital airs [Skt. Vyana] of the subtle body [Skt. Pranamayakosha]. As we journey through life we can find ourselves suffering through illness or through the illness of someone else. During illness previous priorities seem almost irrelevant as we seek to restore our balance or to find a new balance in our lives. Suddenly the medicine Buddha who is often overlooked becomes the most important of all while we realise our oversight. The image of the medicine Buddha can be used as a meditation deity [Skt. Ishta-devata] texts often call a meditation deity a Tutelary Deity or a Yidam Deity. A Yidam is the Tibetan word for an Ishtar-devata, a fully enlightened being who is the focus of personal meditation, during a retreat or for life. Deity Yoga practices can be undertaken. In essence, the mindstream of the guru and the yidam are indivisible. The yidam is considered to be the root of success in the practice. Visualise his serenity & healing light.
His extended left hand with an open front palm is shown in gift bestowing [Skt. Varada] hand gesture [Skt. Mudra] and holds the stem of a triple fruited myrobalan plant between his thumb & forefinger. In Tibetan medicine the myrobalan plant is known as the 'King of Medicines' on account of its medicinal properties. The gift bestowing hand gesture represents his dispensing of healing and holds a myrobalan plant bearing three myrobalan fruits. The number three refers to Principle of Three Gunas, which are Energy [Skt. Rajas] Inertia/Movement [Skt. Tamas] & wholeness or bodily order [Skt. Sattwa] When balanced we enjoy good health, when unbalanced illness can arise. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to rebalance if we allow them in a process known as homeostasis, directly linked to the principle of the Gunas. Unbalancing can occur when the moon residing at the naval root absorbs too much form the sun at the palette root which relates to too much sensual indulgence with the and the nectar of the moon is.
The right hand of Medicine Buddhas rests upon his lap in the position associated with an advanced connection with the inner self arrived at through meditation, commonly called the meditative state. The same hand supports a blue beryl crystal alms bowl containing medicinal nectar and a myrobalan fruit. He is portrayed wearing maroon monastic robes painted seated on a white moon disc in a lotus body position [Skt. Padmasana] and upon an actual lotus flower. Magical Buddhism [Tantric Buddhism] is very connected with Although more commonly linked to Vedic Yoga.
Commentary This is why the ideas in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra are so closely connected with the Buddhist Principle of The Four Noble Truths and on gaining the liberated path. There are many other connections with Yoga such as the tantric gold energy lines [Skt. Chitrini] the lotus and chakras and in the choice of colours of aureoles. Perhaps most obvious is the classic yoga lotus asana with one leg crossed over the other that the Medicine Buddha is sitting in. The wisdom of Devata Yoga will help.
