📿 A Mala That Remembers
This Bodhi seed mala carries age and presence.
The seeds come from an original strand — worn smooth by hands, breath, and time. Their rich brown tone speaks of devotion, while the green cord and tassel bring a grounding, earthy energy.
It feels like something ancient. Something real. Something meant to last.
🌱 The Meaning Carried in Bodhi Seeds
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds represent the moment of awakening — when the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and saw clearly. These beads are a quiet echo of that clarity. Each one invites stillness and attention.
Their texture is soft but substantial. Their shape, gently irregular — a sign of age, and of story.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet
This strand was re-strung in Tibet, keeping the original 80–90-year-old Bodhi seeds intact. The guru and stupa beads are also Bodhi seed — continuing the thread of consistency. And at the base, a yak bone pendant adds a sacred final touch — symbolizing strength, impermanence, and connection to the natural world.
The durable green cord and matching tassel were chosen with intention, bringing a feeling of rootedness to the mala’s presence.
