Tap a wooden moktak, breathe slowly and rest in quiet temple scenes.
Moktak Ssum is a calm 3D moktak for the moments you want to stop and breathe. A moktak is a hollow wooden percussion instrument used in Korean Buddhist temples. Its soft, round knock helps you slow down.
Pick a scene to rest in: a temple at night, rain falling on a hermitage, a snowy courtyard, cherry blossoms in spring, red autumn maples, or a quiet bamboo grove. Tap the moktak gently. The center, the rim and the mouth each ring with their own tone.
■ Five moktaks to choose from
From a palm-sized moktak to a large temple hall moktak, each one has its own voice, from bright and clear to deep and long. Watch the wood grain, cushion and mallet up close, or turn the strike motion off.
■ Gentle Auto Play
Start Auto Play and the moktak rings at a calm pace without tapping: every 3 seconds, every 2 seconds, every 1.5 seconds, or once with each breath. Its volume has its own setting. Tap by hand any time and the next automatic strike waits for you.
■ Rest without counting
Rest for 3, 10 or 20 minutes, or with no time limit. Your count stays out of sight while you rest. When time is up, a single bell rings and the scene quietly says you are finished.
■ Today's Rest
Each day suggests one scene and length. Finish it to thread one bead onto a seven-bead string. Missing a day takes nothing away.
