📿 A Buddha Beads Mala That Moves Like Still Water
This Buddha Beads Mala holds a quiet kind of power.
Its Bodhi seed beads were once part of a well-worn strand — softened by time, shaped by practice. Their brownish red tones feel warm and rooted, while the blue cord and tassel add a cool, calming contrast.
Together, they create harmony — like still water meeting breath.
🌱 The Spiritual Meaning of Buddha Beads
Traditionally, Buddha beads — especially those made from Bodhi seeds — represent the path to awakening. They’re a symbol of the Buddha’s enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, and a gentle invitation to return to the present moment.
Each bead in this mala is naturally aged, smooth in the hand, and full of quiet character. Their imperfections tell a story — one of presence, of practice, of peace.

🧵 Re-Strung by Hand in Tibet
This Buddha Beads Mala was re-strung in Tibet with care and intention, using 75–80-year-old Bodhi seeds. The guru and stupa beads are also Bodhi seed, preserving the continuity of energy throughout the strand.
The durable blue cord and tassel bring a soft but steady finish — a subtle complement to the earthy richness of the beads. Every element was chosen to support grounded, meaningful practice.
