Silnyen
Musical instrument
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The silnyen (Tibetan: སིལ་སྙན།, Wylie: sil snyan), or flat bell, is a Tibetan percussion instrument in the form of a cymbal with a small or no central boss, played by striking by horizontal movement.[1] The silnyen is unique to the Bön religion and is primarily used for the tantric meditative practice of Chöd, representing the feminine aspect when used alongside the Chöda.[2]
