Prayer beads, malas, mani prayer wheels, bells, cymbals and much more.....
Meditation is an important function which may be aided by the use of certain hand gestures (mudras) and chanted mantras (such as the famous mantra of Chenrezig: "om mani padme hum").
Tantric practitioners sometimes make use of special rituals and objects, like a dorje, (vajra in sanskrit) which is an eight-pronged object representing method or compassion, and which together with a handbell known as a drilbu represents wisdom - wisdom with compassion, the true path to enlightenment.
