The Medicine Buddha is one of the most revered figures of the Buddhist pantheon. He is invoked for healing afflictions of the body and mind. The Tibetan mantra of the Medicine Buddha, Om bhaisajye bhaisajye mahabhaisajye bhaisajye raja samudgate svaha. Blue is the color associated with the Medicine Buddha, the "Healer of all Sufferings." His right hand, extended in the gesture of giving, holds the stem of a medicinal plant. His left hand holds a jar of healing nectar.
Easy to play and with a very fine sound, this singing bowl from Nepal is cast from the five healing metals — copper, brass, bronze, silver, and zinc. It is beautifully decorated inside and out. The outside of the bowl is patterned with the mantra of the Medicine Buddha. An exquisite relief carving of the Medicine Buddha adorns the inside of the bowl. Comes with wood striker.
Approximately 6" diameter, 3" h.
We recommend our Blue Brocade Singing Bowl Cushion for use with your bowl (sold separately). Photo depicts the 6" bowl with our 7" cushion.
