Hand-hammered singing bowl cast from a traditional seven-metal alloy, deeply engraved with the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra and a Tibetan deity etched inside. The mantra is an invocation of compassion for oneself and all beings. Set it on the included cushion beside an altar or meditation seat, strike the rim to open a sitting, or circle the striker to build a sustained tone.

Meaning & Intention

The singing bowl is one of the oldest tools of Himalayan sound practice, cast from seven metals said to correspond to seven celestial bodies — gold to the sun, silver to the moon, and the rest to the visible planets.

Engraved on the body is Om Mani Padme Hum, the six-syllable mantra of Chenrezig, bodhisattva of compassion. Often translated as 'the jewel in the lotus,' it is chanted throughout the Tibetan Buddhist world as compassion offered to oneself and all beings.

Inside, the etched deity watches over the sound as it rises. The symbols worked into the base root the piece in Tibetan spiritual tradition.

Together, the metal, the mantra, and the imagery turn a functional object into a small vessel of devotion.

Questions & Guidance

When should I sound the bowl in a practice?

Many people ring it once to open a sitting and once to close it. A slow pass of the striker around the rim can also settle a restless mind before sleep or focused work.

Does the seven-metal alloy really affect the sound?

The traditional blend is credited with giving each hand-hammered bowl its own layered voice, with overtones no two pieces share exactly.

Where should I keep it between uses?

Rest it on the brocade cushion within reach of your meditation seat or altar. Its worn surface and engraved mantra are made to be touched, not stored out of sight.
