Singing Bowls

Singing bowls awaken a beautiful and powerful mystery.  They produce the sacred sound of AUM.  Their rich sonic vibrations alter space, mind, and time.  They are used for meditation and for following the Yoga of Sound.  The sound and music of the bowls awakens cellular memory and permeates the aura with healing energy

The singing bowls originated in the pre-Buddhist, shamanic Bon Po culture of the Himalayas - often called "Tibetan" singing bowls, they are actually made in Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Tibet. They are ‘resting bells’ and, as such, part of the Bell family, which culture seems to date back to a Bronze Age in China some 4,000 years ago, which, at its peak, extended geographically as far as Burma and Indochina. However, Chinese and Japanese resting bells are made in a very different manner.  Some sources state that the bowls are made from the seven sacred metals, corresponding to the sacred seven planets: gold (Sun), silver (moon), mercury (Mercury), copper (Venus), iron (Mars), tin (Jupiter), antimony (Saturn), yet others that a selection (of anything from 3 to 9 - depending upon whom is being asked) from a total of nine metals was used (the seven listed above plus nickel and zinc) and yet another comprising twelve metals. Legend goes on to say that the iron was sometimes replaced by meteorite found on Himalayan mountaintops, metal from the heavens, or that meteorite was added also.

Prayer Bell

The Tibetan Bell represents wisdom. Its hollow symbolizes the wisdom recognising emptiness and the clapper represents the sound of emptiness in all its forms. The body of the Tibetan Bell is decorated with a vase which represents the vase containing the nectar of accomplishment. Above the vase, is the face of Prajanparamita, above which is a lotus, a moon disc and finally a vajra.  The Tibetan bell is always played in the left hand at heart level. It is held by the middle of the handle and swung back and forth. When used in meditation, a playing stick may be used around the rim, and the sound produced reminds of the emptiness of all things, and the quality of wisdom one must develop to attain this realisation.

   
Made of brass, the Tibetan Bell measures
12cm diameter and 20cm height.

Mayadevi

This beautiful statue is a representation of Queen Mayadevi, chosen mother of Buddha. The legend tells how Mayadevi gave birth to Buddha, from her right side, whilst travelling to her parents home. On the way to her parents home, she passed through a valley full of flowers and fruits. Desiring to rest between them, she stopped and grasped the branches of a flowering tree. As soon as she had done so, she felt the pains of delivery, and standing thus with her hand to the branch, the Buddha to be, emerged from her right side.

Shiva

The third deity of the Hindu triad of great gods, the Trimurti. Shiva is called the Destroyer, but has also the aspect of regeneration & rebirth. Shiva epitomizes Divine Consciousness and Destroyer of the Universe and is depicted as dark and terrible, appearing as a naked ascetic accompanied by a train of hideous demons, encircled with serpents and necklaces of skulls. As auspicious and reproductive power, he is worshipped in the form of the Linga, or phallus or prayed to for enlightenment. Shiva is depicted as white, with a dark-blue throat, with several arms and three eyes. He carries a trident and rides a white bull. His consort is Parvati (Devi).

Ganesha

Ganesha is reputed to be a remover of obstacles he is propitiated before the beginning of any new venture whether it is the building of a new house, the writing of a book, the beginning of a journey or the starting of a new business. His images adorn the walls of innumerable business establishments across India. It is customary for businessmen to seek his blessings each morning before they start the working day. Ganesha is also the god of wisdom and prudence. These qualities are signified through his two wives: Buddhi (wisdom) and Siddhi (prudence). Ganesha has a thorough knowledge of the scriptures and is a superb scribe. This latter quality is manifest through the fact that he is the scribe to whom Vyas Dev (the narrator of the Hindu epic Mahabharata) narrated his enormous epic. Ganesha did this work so thoroughly that the Mahabharata is one of the most harmonious works in the Hindu scriptures. Scholars, both mythical and historical, explain that this is so because, before undertaking to do the work, Ganesha stipulated that the dictation should never falter and that he should, at all times, be able to understand what was being said. Thus, it is not strange that such a conscientious god is propitiated by all and sundry.

Buddha

The practice of Buddhism began 2,500 years ago. Only within the past century have Western cultures reached out to embrace Buddhist wisdom, whose essence is to awaken and to serve. Blocking one’s mortal path to awakened or enlightened service are egotism, greed and selfishness, each of which leads to endless and needless suffering.
