Medicine Buddha Healing Bowl

• Hand hammered and polished in Nepal before the intricate designs are created and etched entirely by hand. Master painters bring each sacred image and symbol to life with an extraordinary level of detail.
• This style requires an incredible amount of time, patience, and specialized skill to create, which means only a limited number can be made and available at a time.
• More than decoration, the Medicine Buddha, healing mantra, Eternal Knot, Om Mani Padme Hum, dorjes, and sacred geometry bring layers of intention to your bowl — surrounding your meditation or sound practice with traditional symbols of healing, compassion, protection, and connection.

The Medicine Buddha is the deity of healing, compassion, and relief from suffering. His mantra, "Om Bekandze Bekandze, Maha Bekandze, Radza Samudgate Soha," translates to, "May the many sentient beings who are sick, quickly be freed from sickness. And may all the sicknesses of beings never arise again." It is recited with the wish that illness and suffering be eased, and that well-being extend to all beings.

The same intention continues around the outside of the bowl with Om Mani Padme Hum, the mantra of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. It is framed by dorje motifs, a traditional symbol of strength, protection, and spiritual resilience.

The base is grounded with a sacred geometric design, bringing the symbolism full circle. Often used as a focus for meditation, sacred geometry is associated with balance, connection, and a deeper sense of harmony within the practice.
