📿 A Bodhi Mala That Feels Like Coming Home
This Bodhi Mala carries the quiet weight of something that's already lived a life. Each bead — aged naturally over decades — comes from an original, well-loved mala. The browns and subtle yellows reflect the passing of time, while the smooth surface of each bead invites your fingers to pause. Now re-strung into a wrist mala, it's compact, earthy, and full of presence. The green cord and tassel ground it even further — a touch of nature carried with you, wherever you go.
It’s not just worn — it’s felt. Deeply and quietly.
🌱 The Meaning Held Within a Bodhi Mala
For centuries, Bodhi seeds have symbolized the Buddha’s moment of awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. A Bodhi Mala isn’t just a tool for practice — it’s a reflection of your path. A reminder to return to stillness, no matter how the day moves.
This piece holds 27 beads, each around 12mm in size. Their size and texture offer a grounded feeling in the hand — steady, natural, and real.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet, with Purpose and Care
This mala was handmade in Tibet, using 55–65-year-old Bodhi seeds that once belonged to a full-length strand. The beads were chosen with care, cleaned gently, and then re-strung by hand into a more wearable form.
It’s built on a durable, non-stretch green cord, topped with a matching tassel. The result? A wrist mala that honors the old while supporting your modern-day practice.
🧘 How to Use Your Bodhi Mala
This wrist mala is made for movement — or stillness. It’s there when you need a breath, a pause, or a quiet reminder.
- Repeating mantras or intention-setting
- Breath-counting during short meditations
- Wearing as a subtle spiritual anchor
- Holding during transitions or emotional moments
- Carrying as part of your travel or daily ritual

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.
