temple bell
Monastery's bronze voice
A temple bell is a large bell housed at a Buddhist or Shinto temple, typically struck from outside using a wooden beam or mallet.
Unlike Western bells that swing to ring, temple bells hang stationary and are struck to produce deep, resonant tones used to mark time, call worshippers, or accompany meditation: The temple bell echoed across the valley at dawn.
