Interior- Central Deity – Manjushri (Mañjuśrī)

At the center is Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom.

He is depicted seated in meditation on a lotus throne. Holding the flaming sword of wisdom, which cuts through ignorance. Holding a lotus supporting the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, the scripture of perfect wisdom. Surrounded by a halo and a ring of Tibetan mantra.

Manjushri represents wisdom, mental clarity, higher learning, right understanding, discernment and enlightened intelligence.

Tibetan Mantra Ring

The circle surrounding Manjushri contains a mantra invoking wisdom and blessings. These mantra rings are traditionally believed to sanctify the bowl and symbolise the continuous flow of enlightened energy.

Eight Wisdom Mandalas

Around the interior are eight circular sacred diagrams, each containing the Tibetan seed syllable Om (ཨོཾ) within a mandala.

These represent purification, sacred sound, the awakened mind and blessings radiating in all directions.

These represent purity, spiritual unfolding, compassion and the precious jewel of awakening

How to use Singing Bowls

Singing Bowls can be simply struck on the side or encircled around the rim to vibrate and create a beautiful rich tone. Used by buddhist monks during meditation and various therapists and healers.

There are many ways that singing bowls can be used. They can be placed directly on the body or held around the aura to balance and align the chakras. Water can also be placed inside the bowl to alter the sound.

Sound healing is known to bring many benefits including bringing inner stillness where deep healing can occur. It can also strengthen the nervous system and balance the chakras thereby increasing energy/vitality and alleviating stress.
