Tibetan Mantra Singing Bowl

Tibetan Mantra Singing Bowl — Handcrafted in Nepal

The Tibetan Mantra Singing Bowl from Yuna Handicrafts is a handcrafted instrument of meditation, sound healing, and spiritual practice — made using centuries-old techniques by skilled artisans in Nepal.

A Living Tradition: Singing bowls have been used across the Himalayan region for centuries as tools for meditation, ritual, and healing. Struck or circled with a mallet, they produce a rich, resonant tone that is said to align the body's energy, calm the mind, and create the conditions for deep meditation. Tibetan Buddhist monks have long used singing bowls to mark the beginning and end of meditation sessions, and today they are embraced by practitioners of mindfulness, yoga, and sound therapy worldwide.

The Mantra Tradition: This bowl is engraved with sacred Tibetan mantras — prayers and invocations that carry spiritual intention within the metal itself. The most common is the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, the mantra of compassion associated with Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. Each time the bowl is played, the vibration is believed to activate the mantra, sending its intention outward into the space around it.

Craftsmanship & Materials: Crafted from high-quality bronze — an alloy traditionally used for its superior acoustic properties — each bowl is hand-hammered by artisans in Nepal who have inherited this craft through generations of practice. The hammering process is not merely functional; it is meditative in itself, with each strike shaping both the form and the sound of the finished bowl. The result is an instrument with a warm, layered tone that sustains beautifully when played.

How to Play: Rest the bowl on your open palm or a cushion. Strike the rim gently with the wooden mallet to produce a clear, resonant tone, or slowly circle the mallet around the outside rim to create a continuous singing sound. The bowl responds to patience and a steady hand — much like meditation itself.

Sourced directly from artisan workshops in Nepal by Yuna Handicrafts, every bowl supports the craftspeople who keep this ancient tradition alive. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
