"The perfect sound does not exist" ... thanks Khadro-la!!!

Thank you again Dan!!! I am still waiting for the result of leaving it in a dryer place. If not working, I will probably use blow drier. Fingers crossed!

Wow, our damarus are reflecting the craziness our earth is suffering, I guess. I would never say Toronto is humid, but there has been quite many humid days here in the past year. I like the reply from Dan, really helpful. Although I have found a video on YouTube about fixing a Tibetan drum, I like what Dan suggested. The YouTube video used a blow-dryer after rubbing Brandy on it, then finishing with Vaseline. However, however .... I like what Dan emphasized "slow process" to "avoid disappointment". I don't want to risk it, because it's hard to shop for one. So I will just take it slow. I now put it in a dryer place (near the lamps) (maybe find another even better place later). Don't worry Kate, it can be restored. Watching the YouTube video gave me great confidence, the drum got back its bounce in front of my eyes. Hope ours will be restored soon!!!

Dear Dan, thanks for reaching out. Yes it seems like the moist did it. Thanks for all your suggestions. I will give it a try, that's hopeful!

WOW Wow wow😍

Great idea Ellen! I am going to add this to my practice, recite them everyday.

@Dakinis Whisper Thank you so much Khadro-la ❤🙏

I watched the movie too, I saw the trailer and very curious about whether DiCaprio really gained a pot belly. Excellent actors in the movie, and the ending is such a nice twist. Recently I heard from a Rinpoche on Bardos teaching, he said: "Being able to live and die in a dignified way, we need the confidence that is derived from attaining realization through correct practices." That's the goal, isn't it? However, when I ask myself every morning: "Am I ready to die?" I never be sure about it, or to be honest, still so many attachments and very insufficient confidence. Haha, guess the practices needs to go on.
