📿 A Mala That Carries Its Story
This Bodhi seed mala isn’t just beautiful — it’s lived. The seeds come from an original, older mala — passed through time, touch, and prayer. There’s a quiet power in that. You can feel it the moment it rests in your hands.
Its energy is warm, earthy, and ready to support your next chapter.
🌱 Symbolism & Meaning
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds symbolize the moment of awakening — when the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and touched stillness. These beads hold that same intention. A call to return to the breath. The moment. The path.
The brownish red hue speaks of root energy — grounded, steady, and alive. Each bead is smooth, long, and subtle in its presence. Not flashy. Just real.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet
This mala was lovingly re-strung in Tibet using the original Bodhi seeds, still paired with their matching Bodhi seed guru and stupa beads. Every element was kept together — honoring the story they’ve carried for decades.
Strung on a durable beige cord and finished with a soft beige tassel, this piece feels both timeless and understated. It’s quiet, but deeply intentional. Made by hand. Made to be used.
