📿 A Mala That Feels Like Earth and Light
This Bodhi seed mala carries a grounded, sun-warmed energy.
The beads, taken from an original antique strand, are 60–70 years old — softened with time, shaped by years of practice. Their browns and warm yellow tones feel like soil and sunlight combined. The green cord and tassel add a quiet forest calm, pulling it all together.
It feels steady. Worn. Real. Like something meant to be held.
🌱 The Symbolism Within Bodhi Seeds
Bodhi seeds hold deep meaning in Buddhist tradition. They represent the moment the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and awakened to truth. As such, a Bodhi seed mala is more than just a strand — it’s a reminder of presence, compassion, and clarity.
These particular beads are slightly larger, about 11mm, with soft natural texture and color variation. They turn easily in the hand and carry a sense of quiet wisdom with them.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet
This mala was hand-restrung in Tibet, using pre-owned Bodhi seeds from its original form. The guru and stupa beads are made of matching Bodhi seeds, keeping the energy aligned from start to finish.
It’s completed with a green, non-stretch cord and tassel, chosen for strength and balance. Every piece of this strand was selected with care, honoring both tradition and the path ahead.
