Bonpo bell - shang, sil nyen - for chod

Post by karmanyingpo »

Hello everyone,

I was wondering... For Bonpo chod, what kind of bell is needed. I know the general type, upturned, but are a 3 inch size or 6 inch size both okay? I guess sil nyen is the small one and shang is the big one?
My teacher said I could get either the 3 inch size or 6 inch size. Just wonder if one is more traditional?
