The sound created is a plea to the gods, whom the drums have called down to earth, to remain here. In Tibetan oral tradition, the singing bowls dates back to the time of the historical Buddha. The tradition was brought from India to Tibet, along with the teachings of the Buddha, by the great tantric master Padmasambhava in the 8th century. Singing bowls produce sounds which invoke a deep state of relaxation which naturally assists one in entering into meditation, the ultimate goal being enlightenment. They are an aid to meditation, & can be found on private Buddhist altars, & in temples, monasteries & meditation halls throughout the world. A metallurgical analysis, at the British Museum in London, reveals that the old instruments are made of a twelve metal alloy consisting of silver, nickel, copper, zinc, antimony, tin, lead, cobalt, bismuth, arsenic, cadmium & iron. Gold & sky iron were rare ingredients. Tibetan bowls are also used for holistic healing, stress reduction, chakra balancing, & World music. The rich blend of harmonic overtones which the bowls produce have a direct affect upon the chakras. Playing the bowls usually causes an immediate centering effect. The tones set up a "frequency following response" that creates a balancing left/right brain synchronization. Meditating on the subtle sounds tunes ones in to the universal sound within & without. They are a type of bell, known as a standing bell, that sit with the bottom surface resting, the sides & rim vibrate to produce sound & are used throughout Asia as part of Bön & Tantric Buddhist sadhana. Today they are employed worldwide both within & without these spiritual traditions, for meditation, trance-induction, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being & religious practice. Singing bowls were historically made in Tibet. Now made in Nepal & India they are unique as multiphonic instruments, producing multiple harmonic overtones at the same time. Native crafts help support Tibetan refugees.
