Rooted in Devotion, Reawakened for Today
This Bodhi seed mala carries a quiet strength. Its beads come from a single, original strand — passed through time, touch, and prayer. There's energy in that. A kind of stillness that stays with you.
Now re-strung with care, it’s ready to begin again — with you.
The Meaning Within the Seeds
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds represent the path to awakening — the same path the Buddha walked beneath the Bodhi tree. To hold them is to hold that story. A story of stillness, clarity, and deep inner knowing.
These beads are estimated to be 60–70 years, naturally darkened with tones of brown and soft yellow. Their texture is weathered, smooth, and calm — like river stones shaped by time.

Handmade in Tibet
This Bodhi seed mala was hand-strung in Tibet, using beads from the original mala and finished with a deer bone guru bead — traditional, symbolic, and sacred.
The red cord adds a grounding energy, while the deep red tassel holds a brass vajra charm — a symbol of spiritual power and indestructible truth in Tibetan Buddhism.
It’s built with intention. And made to last.
How to Use It
This mala is a ritual companion — practical, personal, and always close at hand.
- Mantra repetition – (japa)
- Silent breath tracking – In meditation
- Morning or evening rituals – For grounding

Import Taxes & Customs Duties
United States Import Taxes & Customs Duties
We pay all import duties, tariffs and customs clearance fees before your parcel reaches you. The price at checkout is the final price, and nothing is owed to the carrier at delivery.
What we cover on US orders:
- Import duties and tariffs
- Customs clearance and brokerage fees
- Any carrier disbursement or advancement fees
If a carrier ever asks you to pay a customs charge on one of our parcels, do not pay it. Contact us with the notice and we will resolve it directly with the carrier.
Import Taxes & Customs Duties for Other Countries
We only cover import charges on orders shipped to the United States. For all other countries, the buyer pays any import taxes and duties.
Here's why. We can do this because we're based in the US. This allows us to stay up to date on changes to US import taxes and duties, and since most of our orders ship here, we know what to expect.
Other countries are different. Every country sets its own import taxes and duties, and the rules are different everywhere. The amount can depend on the type of product, the value of your order, and your country's tax rates. These rates can also change without much notice. Since we can't know the exact charge ahead of time, we aren't able to cover it.
What you may need to pay on non-US orders:
- Import duties and taxes, such as VAT or GST
- Customs clearance and brokerage fees
- Any carrier handling fees
The carrier usually collects these charges before or at delivery. To find out what you might owe, contact your local customs office before you order.
