Etched Lingham Compassion Singing Bowl

• A one-of-a-kind etched Tibetan Lingam style singing bowl filled with incredible detail! H and picked from a stunning collection of carved singing bowls made in Kathmandu.  The bowl is hand hammered and polished before being etched with extraordinary detail.
• Lingam bowls are said to have extremely strong energy and overall long-lasting sound.  Due to their aesthetic appeal and special sound, this style of bowl is very rare.  They are highly sought after by collectors and practitioners alike.
• Bowl features the 8 Auspicious Symbols along the outside separated by dorje designs.  Inside the bowl you will see the mantra of compassion, Om Mani Padme Hum, in lotus petals.  This mantra is also repeated along the inner rim.

Lingam singing bowls are among the rarest of all Himalayan singing bowls.  Known as a rather masculine shape, they feature a small cone-like protrusion, the lingam, inside the base of the bowl.  A small matching impression can be seen on the bottom of the bowl. 

In Buddhist legend, the 8 Auspicious Symbols represent offerings the gods made to the Buddha after his enlightenment.  It is believed that each of these symbols have powers to bring blessings.  The dorje is also considered an emblem of protection.

The compassion mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion.

Bowl rings at a A note when struck with a woolen mallet.  This note resonates with the Third Eye Chakra.  When this chakra is balanced, we are able to better connect to our intuition and imagination, visualize, concentrate, have insight, enlightenment and a finely tuned awareness.

Measures approximately 8.5 inches in diameter and is about 4 inches deep.

All sound recordings are made by striking the bowl once with our Handcrafted Red Wool Mallet!
