Green Tara singing bowl ensemble, 10 cm
The Green Tara singing bowl ensemble evokes one of the most beloved protective figures of Tibetan Buddhism. Green Tara embodies compassion, swift help and the dissolving of fear. The ensemble is built on a 10 cm copper bowl of at least 380 grams, with the wall carrying the distinctive Green Tara motif that remains visible even as the bowl is played.
Technical specs
- Bowl diameter: 10 cm
- Minimum weight: 380 g
- Material: copper alloy, hand-forged
- Decoration: Green Tara motif with engraved and painted details
- Origin: Tibet / Nepal, handcrafted
How to use
Place the bowl on a firm cushion so the vibration is not absorbed by the table. Strike the rim gently with the mallet, then circle the outer wall slowly to sustain the ring. During a Green Tara practice you can direct the sound to the heart centre while silently repeating the mantra.
Why choose this motif
At 10 cm the bowl sits on the border between portable and serious sound-work sizes: heavy enough for real tonal depth yet easy to hold. The Green Tara depiction is more than decoration, it is a reminder that every strike is a brief meeting with the quality of compassion.
Tips
- Before playing, rest the bowl silently in your palm for a few minutes so it warms to your body temperature.
- To protect the painted details avoid wet cleaning and use only a dry soft cloth.
- Build the tone gradually; striking too hard on a small bowl creates metallic overtones.
