Hundreds of years ago, a Shamanist sect in Tibet perfected the art of making singing bowls. They are made of precious metals in a way which defies modern technology and each one has a distinctive
individual ' voice '. They have a mystical significance for followers of the old Bon religion, as well as being used as an aid to meditation.
