How to use it
Rest the bowl on the palm of your open hand or on its cushion, never on a hard surface. There are two ways to play it: gently strike the rim with the felted or padded side of the striker, then let the sound unfold; or rub the outer rim in a circle, with a slow, steady motion, pressing lightly. The movement takes a few attempts: start gently and keep the volume comfortable for your ears.
Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. No dishwasher, no prolonged exposure to water and no abrasive products: brass develops a natural patina over time and with handling. Store the bowl away from damp.

Symbolism and tradition
In the Buddhist tradition, the Five Buddhas represent the five wisdoms; the engraved mantra is a sacred formula that is recited in meditation. Here, these designs are primarily decorative.
