Tibetan Om Mani Stones

Tibetan Om Mani Stones for Peace and Compassion Tibetan believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect -- it is often carved into stones, and placed where people can see them.

Tibetan Singing Bowls

Tibetan Singing Bowls Singing are used in meditation and ritual practice. It is said that they produce the sacred sound of 'OM'. All of our bowls are chosen for their quality. We carry hand hammered. cast or older bowls.

Our cast bowls are wonderful for beginners. They have a single tone and are very easy to sing. Our hand hammered bowls are chosen by hand by owner Sander Cohen. Sander is a musician and alumni of the Berklee College of Music. He has been collecting bowls for over a decade and seeks out the finest bowls available.

Be wary of websites selling 'antique' bowls. Dating antique bowls is very tricky business and antiques are highly regulated in Nepal. You can click on the 'Listen' Logo to hear each bowl. ENJOY!
