In the realm of Bodhi mala beads, the visibility of "eyes" is a valued feature among practitioners. This is because; they enhance the mala's spiritual value and visual appeal. Some suggest that the eyes are the watchful gaze of wisdom. This in turn, signifies the overseeing of one's journey toward enlightenment. In this collection, you will find Bodhi mala beads with high eye-visibility. Yet, some of our older Bodhi mala beads have subtler eye visibility.

The Color Symbolism in Bodhi Seed Malas

The deep, dark red color of our Bodhi seed mala beads is not only striking. But, it is also symbolically rich. In Buddhist tradition, such red represents passion, energy, strength, courage, and power. In the same way, it also stimulates vitality as well as protects the wearer. Through decades of handling, this coloration makes these Bodhi seeds powerful support tools. In light of this, our seed malas are the perfect tools for meditation practice as well as reflection. Thus, these Bodhi seed mala beads serve as testament to the enduring legacy of the Buddha's wisdom.

Using Bodhi Seed Malas in Your Meditation Practice
