Old Tibetan Bodhi Seed Mala 6x5mm Seeds

📿 A Mala That Holds Time

This Bodhi seed mala is quiet and powerful.

Its beads were once part of an original mala — touched by decades of practice, softened by years of breath and devotion. You can feel that history the moment it rests in your palm.

Now re-strung with care, it’s ready to begin again — with you.

🌱 Meaning in Every Bead

In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds represent the path to awakening — a reminder of the Buddha’s journey under the Bodhi tree. These rich, dark brown beads carry that same intention. Stillness. Awareness. A return to the present moment.

Smooth and petite, they're easy to move through your fingers — light, yet deeply grounding.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet

This mala was re-strung in Tibet using 70–80-year-old Bodhi seeds from the original strand. It’s finished with a striking silver guru and stupa bead, bringing a touch of brightness and balance to the deep earthy tones.

Three gemstone counter beads — a red one set between two green — add a gentle visual rhythm and a layer of symbolic energy to your practice.

The black cord and tassel offer a clean, grounded finish. Every element was chosen with care and intention.
