“The Bell is The best representation of Shunata. Where interdependence and the ephemeral ring. When The bell and the stick,The ear and the air are present there is sound… ungraspable. That’s Shunata”
The Bell of Shunyata
An aspiration — yet to be initiated.
A large temple bell is envisioned for Lapis — a resonant symbol of shunyata, or emptiness. When struck, its deep tone would echo through the land, cutting through thought and drawing us back to the present moment.
In many traditions, the bell represents the sound of truth — vast, formless, and beyond concept. It reminds us that all things arise and dissolve within the openness of mind.
The idea for this project was offered by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche. There is no timeline yet.
