Singing bowls are idiophones that have been used in meditation and sound therapy for thousands of years. The Bajra Singing Bowl is handcrafted in Nepal by artisans whose singing bowl casting knowledge is vast and generational. The bowl is inscribed on the outside in Tibetic with the Buddhist chant, "Om Mani Padme Hum," which boasts a syllable that focuses on each of the practices of Buddhism from generosity to wisdom. The chant is said to focus the individual on acheiving perfection in each practice and bringing one to a purer existence.
