my ghanta broke its striker
 

a buddhist practitioner asks: the striker fell off my ghanta (bell). how do I tie it back? There seems to be a technique, 'cause I can't thread it back. Please help. Thank you.

Hi ZopaKagyu, welcome to the group!

You should have a metal loop in the bowl of the bell and a loop on the striker. Tie them loosely together with a piece of string leaving about 1 to 2cm of string between the two. The widest end of the striker might probably hang about 1 to 1 and 1/2cm below the bottom edge of the bell.

Hope that helps.

with kind wishes

An Anila once told me that someone had a loose bell handle and when ringing it halfway, the bottom half flew across the shrine hall lol

Finally. Thank you. many blessings. back to my practice.

My pleasure . Lots of good wishes for your practice http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/hands.gif

The striker did not fall. No need to tie it back.
Your mind did fall. Just tie it softly.
