Medicine Buddha singing bowl ensemble, 10 cm
The Medicine Buddha singing bowl ensemble carries the image of Bhaisajyaguru, one of the best-known figures in Tibetan medicine and spiritual practice. The 10 cm copper bowl of at least 500 g is therefore especially suited to those who want to link meditation with physical and emotional recovery.
Technical specs

- Minimum weight: 500 g
- Material: copper alloy, hand-forged

- Origin: Tibet / Nepal, handcrafted
How to use
Place the bowl on a cushion and play it gently with the wooden mallet. During a Medicine Buddha practice it helps to direct the tone over the parts of the body you want to support in regeneration. Deep slow breathing combined with focused listening provides a release for the body.
Why choose this motif
A weight of 500 g or more is one of the heaviest categories among 10 cm bowls, so the sustain is far longer than in a typical miniature set. The Medicine Buddha imagery adds extra meaning for yoga teachers, massage therapists and practitioners who already work with this quality: the bowl is an instrument and a symbol in one.
Tips
- In a therapy setting play the bowl near the client rather than directly on the body.
- Setting a clear intention before playing is a key element of the Medicine Buddha practice.
- Because the bowl is heavier, slow strikes and gradual circling bring out its most beautiful tone.
