What to Buy at a Buddhist Shop

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Sean Daniel

A traditional Buddhist shop sells a wide range of Tibetan artifacts and decorations that will augment your religious and yoga traditions. Many Buddhist shops tend to focus on Buddha statues, prayer flags, and Mala beads, although there are also many that carry a wide range of other items including singing bowls as well.
Buddha statues are a staple in the Buddhist culture, and they are quite prevalent in Buddhist shops.

Buddha can be found in the traditional statue, as well as many other designs. There are Buddha statues that are single colored, those with gilt edgings, or in bronze. Many Buddhist shops also carry numerous items featuring Buddha like pendants, amulets, or earrings. There are also clothing items, bags, and notebooks featuring likenesses of Buddha, so there are plenty of options to choose from.
Mala beads are also a popular item at Buddhist shops. These beads are usually a string of 108 that are used in meditation or reciting mantras. The number of beads is considered a sacred number, and the different materials used for making the beads are also significant for the energy they are believed to contain. Buddhist shops carry mala beads in many different sizes, which is often determined by the material used to make the beads. Many mala beads are available in strands that are all one material, but there are also those made from a variety of materials. Some popular mala bead materials found in Buddhist shops are amber, sandalwood, coral red wood, agate, turquoise, and jade.

Prayer flags are a very unique item found in Buddhist shops. Prayer flags are cloth flags that usually come in sets of five colors that represent different elements. It is believed that when prayer flags fade due to the environmental conditions that they prayer held within it becomes a permanent part of the universe. Buddhist shops carry prayer flags that feature the Dalai Lama, the Chenrezig Avalokiteśvara, or the Ling Gesar. There are also prayer flags available in solid colors that feature simple designs or single letters.

Singing bowls are an important tool in meditation, due to their ability to provide the sacred "ohm" sound that makes meditation sessions much more beneficial. These bowls work by using a striker to create the desired sound, and different sizes produce different tones. There are singing bowls available that are hand-hammered, making them a unique addition to your Buddhist collections or decor. Singing bowls are found in many traditional and old or antique Buddhist shops, but care should be taken when purchasing these bowls.

Many Buddhist shops claim that their singing bowls are antique, but this is very difficult to properly determine. The higher regulation of antiques in the Nepal area provides even more reason to be very careful when purchasing "antique" singing bowls. If you are interested in purchasing antique singing bowls, you should make sure to do some research on both the Buddhist shop, and the bowl you are interested in to make sure you are buying from a reputable company and getting what you are actually paying for.

Buddhist shops are widely available both online and in traditional shops, with many of them selling authentic designs directly from the source. These shops are a veritable treasure trove of Tibetan pieces, and they can also provide a wide range of Asian and Tibetan decorations for those who wish to decorate their homes with authentic decor. If you are looking for traditional Buddhist shops during your travels, you will have a wide range of choices all over Asia where you will find truly authentic treasures.
