In Tibet, singing bowls have been used for centuries for meditation and healing. They make the sound of OM, the sacred and primordial sound.
This is a 4 3/4 inch singing bowl. It comes with a wooden striker.
On the inside of the bowl is a raised image of Chenrezig, hands folded in namaskar, offering greetings and blessings. Chenrezig is the Tibetan name for the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of supreme compassion. All Dalai Lamas are regarded as an incarnations of Chenrezig, and Avalokiteshvara has come to be seen as the symbol of Buddhist altruism and compassion.
Surrounding Chenrezig and encircling the outside of the bowl is the Tibetan Buddhist mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. On the bottom of the bowl is the Tibetan Hung, the last syllable of Om Mani Padme Hum.
When you make this lovely singing bowl ring out, you invoke the blessings of Chenrezig, bodhisattva of supreme compassion. A great reminder to act with kindness and tread gently on the earth.
You can place the bowl in your hand or on a cushion or pillow and with steady, even pressure circle the rim with the striker. They can be struck like a gong, as well, which also produces a beautiful, resonate sound.
