pagans and Tibetan singing bowls

hello and bright blessings all.i was wondering if tools from another type of faith can be used in ours,i have 2 singing bowls which i feel very attached to and some one told me pagans dont use them.i have used them to cleanse my crystals and create my sacred space ect with amazing results and i dont feel bad about it anyway.i feel any sacred tool can be use as long as the intentions are they are used for are made clear.has any one else got a singing bowl on your altar ect. blrssed be all )o(

No I don't use singing bowls but I know that some people do. I suppose you can use whatever tools you want but I believe that if you follow a certain tradition then you should use the tools of that tradition - but that's just me

I am pagan, a Cunning Man, but most years I have a Retreat Weekend at Samyeling, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre in the Scottish Lowlands and always look forward to the temple services with gongs, chants, etc. I even like Salvation Army bands and their rousing battle hymns. I see no conflict in this.
