Tibetan Prayer Chime

The Tibetan Prayer Chime carries the spirit of ancient Tibetan tradition into your home. Its five bronze-tone aluminum tubes are tuned to the pentatonic motif from From me flows what you call Time — a celebrated work by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, commissioned for the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Hall.

The chime's five colored ribbons represent the Tibetan prayer flag colors, each tied to one of the five elements of nature in Buddhism:

• Yellow — Earth
• White — Water
• Green — Wind
• Blue — Sky
• Red — Fire

In Tibetan tradition, prayer flags are hung so the wind carries their blessings to all nearby. May this chime do the same — bringing peace and good fortune with every breeze.
