A brass singing bowl set in the Golden Tara tradition — bowl, cushion, and mallet presented together, with the Golden Tara iconographic association connecting this bowl to the active, compassionate, protective qualities of the deity in Tibetan Buddhist practice.
What This Set Offers
The complete set — bowl, cushion, and mallet — arrives ready to use without any additional accessories or purchases required.
Brass composition gives this bowl a warm, bright tone with sustained resonance — distinct from the darker, more complex tone of hand-beaten multi-metal bowls.
Golden Tara represents swift, active compassion in Tibetan Buddhist tradition — a counterpart to the Green Tara's protective qualities, with the gold colour associated with abundance and clarity.
The bowl's resonance can be felt as a physical vibration in the hand and against the body — a quality valued in sound work and meditation practice.
Brass Bowl, Cushion, Mallet
Brass singing bowl, Golden Tara tradition. Cushion and mallet included. Confirm bowl diameter, mallet type (padded or wooden), and whether the bowl is hand-beaten or machine-spun from the product specification.
Playing the Bowl
Place the bowl on the cushion in the open palm. Strike gently near the rim with the padded mallet end for a single resonating tone. For sustained tone: press the wooden mallet side against the outer rim and move in slow, steady circles with even pressure. Avoid contact between fingers and the bowl base during play — vibration dampens where the hand touches the surface.
Golden Tara in Context
Tara is one of the most important female bodhisattvas in Tibetan Buddhism — appearing in twenty-one forms, each with a specific quality and colour association. Golden or Yellow Tara is associated with prosperity, spiritual richness, and the wealth of insight. Singing bowls associated with Tara are used in practice to invoke the energy of compassion and swift, responsive action in the world.
