Old Tibetan Bodhi Seed Mala 6mm Seeds

📿 A Mala That Carries Light and Depth

This Bodhi seed mala feels both ancient and alive.

The beads were part of a well-worn original strand — softened by years of practice, yet still strong in spirit. Their deep brown tones are steady and grounding, while the bright yellow cord brings a touch of light.

It’s a beautiful balance — rooted and radiant all at once.

🌱 The Meaning Behind the Bodhi Seeds

In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds symbolize awakening — the moment the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and became fully present. These aged, dark-hued beads carry that wisdom. They remind us to return. To breathe. To notice.

Each one is smooth, compact, and warm to the touch — a quiet companion for your practice.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet

This mala was lovingly re-strung in Tibet, using 50–60-year-old Bodhi seeds from the original strand. The guru bead is made of yak bone, a traditional material often used in Himalayan spiritual tools — a symbol of impermanence, strength, and continuity.

The yellow cord and tassel were chosen with care — a vibrant contrast to the dark beads, adding brightness without distraction. Every detail serves the practice.
