This Tibetan singing bowl is hand-hammered from 7 traditional metals, with the animals of the Tibetan Calendar etched around its outer wall and a Buddha figure at the inner base. The bowl is associated with peace, grounding, and stillness. Struck or circled with the wooden striker, it opens or closes a meditation or sits at the center of a home altar.

Meaning & Intention

The outer rim shows a procession of animals from the Tibetan Calendar, the twelve-year cycle used across the Himalayan world to mark time, temperament, and fortune. The rabbit stands for gentleness and intuition, the snake for inner wisdom.

Etched into the base is a small figure of the Buddha, hidden until the bowl is lifted or looked into. The sound rises up and circles this still center, as though the tone itself is an offering.

Together, the zodiac band and the seated figure connect the bowl to two threads of Himalayan life: the cyclical passage of time, and the stillness meditation seeks to touch. Struck or circled with the striker, both become audible.

Questions & Guidance

How do I play the singing bowl?

Tap the outer edge gently with the wooden striker to start a tone, then press the striker against the rim and circle it slowly to build a sustained, humming vibration.

Do I need a formal meditation practice to use it?

No. A single deep tone works well on its own to mark a transition — the start of the workday, a short pause between tasks, or the shift into evening.

Where should I rest the bowl?

Set it on the silk cushion, on a table, altar, or meditation corner. The cushion keeps the metal from touching a hard surface, which can dampen the tone.
