The deep and spiritual voice of Dharmic teachings is symbolized by the right-coiled white conch. It awakens Buddha’s pupils from their deep sleep of ignorance and urges them to devote their energy to the benefit of mankind after they have heard it.
Right-spiraling conches are rather uncommon, and they are thought to reflect the motion of the stars and planets across the sky. Tibetan Buddhists now utilize them to call religious gatherings and as a source of music as well as a container for holy water during Tibetan rites.
