This Vajra and auspicious conch shell inscribed antique singing bowl is handmade and beautifully crafted with professional-grade sound healing in mind. Made from the antique 7 metals. A perfect addition for the aspiring sound healing master. In the tantric traditions of Buddhism, the Vajra (inscribed inside) is a symbol for the nature of reality, or sunyata, indicating endless creativity, potency, and skillful activity. Buddhism identifies the conch shell as one of the eight auspicious symbols, known as the Ashtamangala. Each of these eight symbols represents a part of Buddha’s physical form with the conch representing Buddha’s melodious voice. In today’s Tibetan Buddhist practice, the conch serves to sound for the gathering of religious assembly, and as a musical instrument and container for holy water during the ritual.
