Explore the connections between singing bowls and Mongolian shamanism
Given its name and main places of manufacture, it would be easy to conclude that the Tibetan bowl is solely a Buddhist object. In reality, one theory about its origins suggests that this percussion instrument has its roots in the shamanic practices of Mongolia. Around 5,000 years ago, shamans began using metal bowls, originally intended for cooking food, to produce sounds as part of spiritual or healing rituals. At that time, the vibrations of these sound objects were believed to resonate with the spirits of nature and ancestors. It was not until much later, with the advent of Buddhism, that Tibetan singing bowls were used by monks in temples and monasteries. Experience this heritage for yourself by treating yourself to a genuine Tibetan bowl.
