Unknown by origin with vague traces in the past, the true history of Tibetan Singing Bowls is yet to be discovered. Most resources state a mysterious past and only few mention the possibility of being discovered and brought to light by Shakyamuni Buddha and consequently brought to Tibet by Padmasambhava, a powerful Buddhist priest who defeated Bon religion in Tibet. But more than defeat, Bon religion is the native religion to Tibet, as is the Dreaming to Aboriginal culture in Australia, and because Bon religion had strong roots in Tibet with deep insights, values and resources, it became part of Buddhism – the Bon Buddhist path.
