Tibetan Singing Bowls

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. To make it sing, you circle the wooden stick outside of the bowl. The art of making singing bowls is quickly dying, so get your collector's item, and wonderfully melodic instrument today. We have many different singing bowls, some with painting or carvings and Buddhist signs around the edge of the bowl.

Tibetan Prayer Flags

Tibetan Prayer Flags

Prayer flags began as a tradition in China, India, and Tibet. Today in Tibet you will find many prayer flags hanging outside the door of homes and businesses. Prayer flags come in many forms, but there is never a deity on a prayer flag. Instead there will be a Tibetan symbol or a mantra on the prayer flag. Besides their religious significance, prayer flags can add color and variety to your environnment, and they always have a cheering effect on your spirits.
