📿 An Antique Bodhi Seed Mala That Holds Quiet Wisdom
This antique Bodhi seed mala feels like something passed down — soft in the hand, steady in spirit. Each brownish-red Bodhi seed carries the softened texture of time, drawn from an original mala used in practice decades ago. With just 29 beads, it’s been reworked into a wrist mala that’s simple, wearable, and deeply rooted. The red cord and tassel offer a warm, grounding contrast — like embers glowing beneath a dark sky.
It’s a piece that doesn’t shout — but it speaks, gently and clearly, to the one who’s listening.
🌱 The Meaning Woven into This Antique Bodhi Seed Mala
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds are more than beads — they symbolize awakening. They remind us of the Buddha’s moment of enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree and invite us to return to our breath, our stillness, and our path.
This antique Bodhi seed mala includes 29 prayer beads, each around 8×10.5mm in size. Their earthy tone and natural shape feel grounding, while their vintage patina holds a quiet kind of reverence.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet, with Intention in Every Thread
This wrist mala was handcrafted in Tibet, using 40–50-year-old Bodhi seeds sourced from a vintage strand. The original mala had been used in practice — and now its energy continues forward in this refined, compact form.
It’s strung on a durable, non-stretch red cord and finished with a matching handmade tassel. Every part of the process was done with care, honoring both the lineage and the daily practice it supports.

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.
