Myths about Tibetan monks

Do Tibetan monks forge singing bowls? Do they practice with them? Do they eat from them? Do they teach bowl practices? In the fall of 2018, we asked these questions to Tibetan lamas and monks from Upper Mustang (Old Tibet). As a video from a video - no. Everything that is said about Tibetan monks (bowl production, healing art) are myths of bowl traders and surrogate knowledge. But these practices and tools are interesting to Tibetans, since they understand both meditation and natural healing methods. And they are always happy to take training from Dr. Surikov when they have the opportunity.

And everyone who says and writes that singing bowls are forged by monks or Tibetans and also teach, should not be trusted. Check, think with your thinking, evaluate information and sources. Learn to choose quality and truth instead of the circus of illusions of the modern world.

A branch of our school is located right in the Tibetan monastery Pema Tsal Sakya. We have someone to ask. By the way, there are no other monks in Nepal except Tibetan ones. Questions for Lama Palbar of the lineage of teacher Ngawang. He is from Mustang, like most of the inhabitants of the monastery. Mustang is more Tibet than anything else.
