About Singing Bowls

What's in this collection

Twelve pieces gathered around sound as a practice: singing bowls, tingsha bells and chimes, and a small number of decorative bowls made for the same use. The metals named on the pieces are copper, bronze, and brass, with hand-hammered surfaces on many of the bowls. Etchings and embossed motifs include the Om symbol, mantras, lotus mandalas, the five Dhyani Buddhas, a Tibetan calendar design, and lingam forms. Prices run from about $88 to $445.

How to choose

Consider size and sound together. A larger bowl, such as the eight-inch traditional Tibetan bowl in this collection, holds a longer tone and suits a fixed place on an altar or shelf. Smaller bowls and tingsha bells travel well and open or close a sitting quickly. If you keep a specific intention, the pieces here are tagged for inner peace, zen, tranquility, calm, balance, wisdom, and mindfulness, so you can match a symbol to the word you want to hold: Om for a general opening, mantra engraving for repetition, lotus mandala for stillness, or the five Dhyani Buddhas for a fuller arrangement.

How to use

Strike the rim once to mark the start of a practice, or circle the rim slowly with the mallet to draw out a sustained note. Tingsha bells are traditionally rung together at the beginning and end of meditation, and many people keep a bowl on the same shelf as their cushion for that reason.

Care

Metal asks for a dry cloth and a dry shelf. Wipe fingerprints from copper and brass after handling, and rest the bowl on its cushion when it is not in use.

What size singing bowl should I start with?

If you are new to sound work, a mid-size bowl is easy to both strike and circle with the mallet. The eight-inch traditional Tibetan bowl gives a longer sustain, while smaller bowls and tingsha bells are lighter for travel and for quick openings and closings.

Are these suitable as a gift?

The collection is tagged for gifting and carries recognizable symbols such as Om, lotus mandalas, mantras, and the five Dhyani Buddhas. With prices from about $88, there is room to choose by budget as well as by the intention, from calm and zen to wisdom, that the recipient tends to keep.

What can I pair a singing bowl with?

Tingsha bells pair naturally with a bowl for marking the start and end of a sitting. Mantra-etched and lotus mandala bowls sit well beside a meditation cushion, an altar cloth, or a small Buddha or Ganesh figure. Keep the surface clear so the bowl can rest and ring freely.
