I guess it's in storage these days, but it used to hang in the entranceway of the Jokhang in Lhasa. With the Te Deum... inscribed on it. For proof, see here:<br /><br />http://www.oraziodellapenna.com/eng_campana_storia.htm<br /><br />Armenians have a Tibetan bell that is at least as old at Etchmiadzin Cathedral, the Jokhang of Armenia.<br /><br />Catholics & Buddhists seem to have a bell exchange system. Maybe kind of like the Assamese who used Dorje Drilbus with the Dorjes removed for currency? Things get around, and not always for what we think are the right reasons.<br /><br />Interesting world? I think so!<br /><br />Your,<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.com
