Buddha is a word in Sanskrit which means "One who is awakened". In other words, a Buddha is a person who has attained enlightenment. Enlightened people see the world as it truly is. They see the true nature of things. As a result, they're free from suffering and have broken the cycle of death and rebirth. Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, was a philosopher and spiritual teacher who became enlightened. Through his teachings, he taught us the way to attaining enlightenment and everlasting peace. And inspired the world to look within to find the truth. For the last 2,500 years, the teachings of the Buddha have remained a liberating gift to mankind.

The teachings of the Buddha have allowed many of us a way out of suffering. Which is why, for the past 2000 years people have worn necklaces depicting the Buddha. Buddha Necklaces remind us of the virtues and deeds of the Buddha. At the same time, they remind us of our own intentions, which is to become a Buddha, or at least, to be more Buddha-like. All things considered, there are many benefits to wearing a Buddha necklace. For one, it can help you stay mindful and present in the moment. As well as, serve as a reminder to live your life with compassion and kindness. Wearing a Buddha necklace can help you to let go of negative thoughts and emotions. And bring you a sense of peace and calm.

Caring for Your Jewelry, Malas and Statue

Discover essential tips and techniques for maintaining and preserving your jewelry, malas and statues. This guide provides detailed care instructions tailored to the unique materials and intricate craftsmanship of each spiritual piece, ensuring they remain cherished components of your spiritual practice.

Caring for Your Jewelry

How should I clean my silver and nephrite jade pendants?

For silver components, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish the surface. Avoid abrasive cloths which can scratch the silver. For nephrite jade, a soft damp cloth can be used to wipe the surface gently, then dry it immediately with another soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, as they can damage both silver and jade.

Can I wear my pendant all the time, even in the shower or pool?

It is advisable to remove your pendant before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities that involve exposure to chemicals or excessive moisture. Water and chemicals can tarnish silver quickly and may also affect the smoothness of the jade.

What is the best way to store my pendant when not in use?

Store your pendant in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft-lined jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches. Silver is prone to tarnishing when exposed to air, so keeping it in an airtight bag with anti-tarnish strips is beneficial.

How can I maintain the luster of my nephrite jade?

Nephrite jade maintains its polish well and does not typically require additional oils. However, keeping it clean and dry will preserve its natural luster. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can heat the jade and potentially alter its texture over time.

What should I do to prevent tarnishing of the silver parts?

Regularly wiping your silver pendant with a polishing cloth can help prevent tarnish. For deeper cleans, use a silver cleaning solution, but ensure that it does not come into contact with the jade parts. If tarnishing occurs, consider having it professionally cleaned, specifying that the pendant includes nephrite jade.

Caring for Your Mala

How should I clean my mala beads?

For most mala beads like gemstones, wood, and seeds, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, especially if the beads have absorbed body oils or sweat, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry them immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging them in water as this can damage the material.

Can I wear my mala beads during yoga or while sleeping?

Malas are generally durable, but to prevent stretching or breaking, it's best to remove them during intense physical activities or while sleeping. Continuous stress can weaken the thread over time and may lead to breakage.

What is the best way to store my mala beads when not in use?

Store your mala in a clean, dry place. Hanging it on a mala stand or draping it in a way that prevents tangling is ideal. If you need to store it in a jewelry box, gently coil it to prevent strain on the thread.

Are there any specific considerations for malas made from bodhi seeds, lotus seeds, or rudraksha seeds?

Seed and wood-based malas like bodhi, lotus, and rudraksha can benefit from occasional oiling to prevent drying out. Use a small amount of natural oil, such as coconut or sandalwood oil, applied with a soft cloth. This keeps them from cracking and maintains their luster.

How do I care for malas made from agarwood or sandalwood?

Agarwood and sandalwood malas are aromatic and can lose their scent over time. To maintain the fragrance, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and do not store them in tightly sealed containers. If they begin to dry out, a small amount of natural oil can be used to refresh the wood.

What precautions should I take with gemstone malas?

Gemstone malas should be cleansed of energetic debris periodically. This can be done by placing them under moonlight overnight or using smudging techniques with sage. Physically, avoid dropping your gemstone malas as they can be chipped or cracked upon impact.
