Meditation Bowl: Collector’s Item

Although singing bowls are often associated with meditation, keeping a simple meditation bowl on your meditation altar has its own purpose. It’s a symbol of your offering or intention.

[easyazon-image align=”left” asin=”B003VFLQUE” locale=”us” height=”333″ src=”http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411ivMDo2eL.jpg” width=”251″]This hand-cut, 24% Leaded Crystal meditation bowl is a rare treasure. It’s  dated as “pre-1900, (precise age unknown)”, and measures 4.5 x 4 x 4 inches.

With it’s diamond-like rainbow colors, it makes a beautiful offering bowl for your meditation altar, to symbolically hold your prayers.

It comes a stand, and advertised as having been “Dakini Blessed, Reiki Tummo Infused by Reiki Master.” The meditation bowl is also advertised as being sold “to Support Free Tibet & Nepal”.

Buddhist Antique Leaded Crystal Meditation Offering Bowl for blessing all sentient beings

A meditation bowl can hold meditation accessories such as mala beads, crystals, Tibetan Medicine, Gold, or water. Or you can use it alone as a meditation tool, to serve as a reminder of the goal of theBuddhist practice to develop these qualities in yourself. You can dedicate your development to the benefit of all sentient beings.

I’ve always felt my meditation bowls and other tools were not for decorative purposes. The seller feels the same way, saying on the sales page: “[An altar is] not for fame, showing off wealth, or to increase pride, but rather to reduce one’s mental afflictions & to seek the ability to help all sentient beings.”

Since this meditation bowl is a one-of-a-kind item, there were no ratings on the site. It’s worth [easyazon-link asin=”B003VFLQUE” locale=”us”]clicking through to visit the sales page[/easyazon-link] just to read the sellers’ detailed instructions for setting up a mediation altar; I enjoyed their views on this.
