A Small Bodhi Seed Mala with a Big Presence
This Small Bodhi Seed Mala holds more than meets the eye. Its compact size makes it easy to wear, but its energy runs deep. The 30 vintage Bodhi seeds, each around 8.5mm, come from an original mala — softened by years of use and shaped by steady hands. Their tones — rich reds and deep oranges — feel warm, grounding, and quietly vibrant.
Held together by a green cord and matching tassel, this wrist mala offers a beautiful balance of subtlety and strength.
The Meaning Behind This Small Bodhi Seed Mala
For centuries, Bodhi seeds have been used in sacred practice. They symbolize awakening — a reflection of the Buddha’s enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. But more than that, they invite intention, devotion, and a return to inner stillness.
This Small Bodhi Seed Mala is perfect for shorter meditations or on-the-go grounding. The bead size and count make it incredibly portable, while still maintaining deep symbolic value.

Handmade in Tibet, Rooted in Tradition
This wrist mala was handmade in Tibet, using 40–50-year-old Bodhi seeds recovered from a traditional strand. Each bead carries the history of past practice — now re-strung into a new, wearable form.
The non-stretch green cord provides structure and strength, while the green tassel adds a soft finishing touch. It’s compact, intentional, and ready for daily life.

- Chanting short mantras or intentions

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.
