"In our beautiful meeting house, we have used five singing bowls for several years during worship. We use them for several things but the most common use is to call the congregation to prayer and meditation. Week after week, people hear the singing bowls until there is a close connection between the singing bowls and being in the meeting house, sacred space, and also being with the congregation, a beloved community. I also use them as I lead prayer and meditation groups.

A few years ago, I began the practice of giving to each graduating senior in the congregation a small personal singing bowl. Some of the students have reported how meaningful the bowls are to them. It is our hope that living near the bowl and using it from time to time will always draw their attention back to the meeting house where they first experienced singing bowls, and back to the congregation where they were spiritually nurtured through their childhoods. In addition, we hope that the singing bowls will become sources of peace and inspiration that will take them to new places they never have experienced.

For some, we hope the bowls will become part of regular spiritual practice. In some way, the bowl becomes our meetinghouse that goes with them wherever they go. My thanks to Rain, who gave so generously and patiently of his time to help us make sure we selected just the right bowls for our young people, and one for my own use. Surely, spirituality in making a sale enhances the enduring spiritual power of the bowls."
