What it is
Tibetan Engraved Singing Bowl 5 Buddhas is a 21cm metal singing bowl. Struck or circled around the rim with a mallet, it produces a sustained tone with layered overtones that slowly fades.
The Five Buddhas (Five Dhyani Buddhas) of Vajrayana Buddhism each represent a direction and a wisdom; together they form a complete mandala.
A neutral finish fits easily into any room or altar. Styling: neutral tones disappear into a room, letting what's inside take the attention.
The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, taught in northern India around the 5th century BCE. Statues show him in mudras, hand gestures that each carry a meaning, such as touching the earth or turning the wheel of the teachings.
From the maker: This 21cm singing bowl is handcrafted in the traditional Tibetan style and engraved with the Five Buddhas, also known as the Dhyani Buddhas. The Five Dhyani Buddhas have been depicted in Buddhist art for more than a thousand years, in temple murals, sculpture and sacred objects across Tibet, Nepal and much of Asia, with each figure representing a different aspect of Buddhist philosophy.
Materials and size
Size: approximately 21cm. Allow for small variations between batches.
Traditional uses
In meditation and sound practice, the bowl's fading tone is used as a focal point, and bowls are often played at the beginning and end of a session. Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.
How to use it
Rest the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm.
Tap the outside wall with care with the mallet to wake the bowl.
Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady.
For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully.
Practice tip: record yourself playing on your phone; it is the quickest way to hear whether your pressure is steady.
Neighbour tip: rim playing is quieter than striking if you live in a flat.
Gifting idea: a ready-to-play set is a thoughtful present for a yoga teacher or a friend starting meditation.
Care
Wipe with a gentle, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal.

What is a singing bowl used for?
Singing bowls are customarily used in meditation, yoga and sound practice. The sustained tone is used as a point of focus and to mark the start and end of a session. We describe this as a practice, not a treatment.
How do you make a singing bowl sing?
Rest the bowl on a cushion or open palm, tap the side once, then run the mallet slowly around the outside of the rim with steady pressure. The tone builds after a few rotations.
What size singing bowl should I buy?
For a first bowl, 12–18cm is a good balance: easy to hold and play, with a full tone. Smaller bowls sound higher; larger bowls are deeper and sustain longer.
How do you clean a singing bowl?
Wipe it with a fine, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polish, especially on painted or engraved bowls, and store it somewhere dry.
Why won't my singing bowl sing?
Usually the pressure or speed is uneven, or something is touching the bowl. Slow down, press more firmly, keep your fingers off the walls and make sure it sits freely on the cushion.
