\"Thumbnail<\/span>Wow, Valerie, wow!  I loved your entry about Tibetan singing bowls<\/a>  because first of all, I’m glad you’re finally on the mend after that nasty bronchitis, and second of all, it turns out I have a singing bowl sitting in my dining room but had no idea what it was!<\/p>\n

My friend Mike brought it back for me from Nepal several years ago, and showed us how to make the sound by moving the wooden dowel around the rim.  (Side note: I’m fascinated by the leather-covered dowels because, um, do Buddhists “do” leather?)<\/p>\n

I totally thought I knew what it was: a Buddhist begging bowl that doubles as a meditation chime (you ring the top, then “ding!” the side to begin or end a meditation session, right?).  I’d say I should have Googled it, but I’m glad that I got to learn about it instead from you who were (sort of) healed by it.  Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
