Tibetan Singing Bowls

Tibetan singing bowls are called singing bowls because they can be made to sing. The concept of singing bowls is the same as making a wine glass hum with your fingers. Each bowl includes a wooden stick. We have many different singing bowls, some with painting or carvings and Buddhist signs around the edge of the bowl. Tibetan singing bowls are used in many different ways. Tibetan singing bowls are often used along with other instruments in yoga classes, and during meditation. Please note, although many companies profess to sell antique singing bowls, antiques are highly regulated in Nepal and these bowls are most likely fake. Learning how to play a Tibetan singing bowl is very easy. Just remember to continue slowly moving the mallet along the outside of the bowl. It may take some time, but as long as you keep the mallet moving slowly along the outside of the Tibetan singing bowl you will be able to produce a sound. Often the sound produced by the singing bowl begins with a vibration that you will be able to feel with your hand as you play the bowl. Tibetan singing bowl pillows can be used while you play the Tibetan singing bowl, but they can also be used to display your bowl on a shelf in your home. Tibetan singing bowls are beautiful as well as useful, and it is very beautiful to display a Tibetan singing bowl in your home.

Tibetan ornaments: Ethnic charm unleashed

There are a variety of Tibetan ornaments, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, and the crafting techniques include enchasing, inlaying, and wire drawing. In a broader sense, Tibetan ornaments also include living and religious articles, such as snuff bottles, whose hollowed-out designs demonstrate the craftsmen's skills; prayer wheels, which can be found throughout Tibet; barrels to hold rice for offering before Buddha images; sea-snail-shaped ritual horns; and splendid-colored Thangka paintings. All these have become popular.

A brief introduction to Tibetan Tangka

Tangka is a kind of scroll painting mounted on silk. It has distinctive ethnic features and a strong religious flavor. Its unique artistic style is highly prized by the Tibetan people.

Tangka first appeared in Tibet around the tenth century AD. The scroll form seems to have been borrowed from the inner land; the style of painting probably came from Nepal and Kashmir . Apprentice Tangka painters studied under experienced lamas, and their works were consecrated before they could be hung. The origin of Tangka can be traced back to the early Tubo Kingdom. During the 7th century, King Songtsan Gambo united Tibet. To strengthen political, economic and cultural exchanges with Tibet's neighbors, he married Princess Chizun of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. Around this period he ordered the construction of Potala Palace and some other grand edifices. To decorate them, he drafted a large number of people to paint murals. This greatly promoted Tibet's art of painting. According to the Catalogue of Jokhang Monastery written by the Fifth Dalai Lama, "The King (Songtsan Gambo) used the blood from his nose to paint a portrait of the White Lhamo. Later, while a statue of the White Lhamo was being sculpted, the portrait was hidden in the abdomen of the statue." This is the earliest record of a Tangka painting. This Tangka has been lost, but we can conclude that Tangka was a new Tibetan art form which flourished during the reign of Songtsan Gambo.
