According to Gwalwa Karmaza who is a Tibetan Bodhisattva teacher the singing bowls of Tibet emit the sound of emptiness, they deal with the time of the historical buddha, Shakyamuni which is the sound of the universe manifesting itself.

At the beginning the bowls were made in an artisanal way but the tradition says that they must be formed by the combination of seven metals: silver, gold, mercury, tin, lead, copper and iron and forged by hand.
