📿 A Mala That Holds Warmth and Wisdom
This Bodhi seed mala feels like a beam of morning light.
The brownish red beads, gathered from an original, aged strand, carry the quiet strength of decades past. Their surface is gently worn — softened by years of use. Paired with a bright yellow cord and tassel, it radiates clarity, warmth, and intention.
It’s the kind of mala that feels both grounded and gently uplifting.
🌱 The Meaning Woven Into Bodhi Seeds
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds reflect the moment of enlightenment — when the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and awakened to truth. That symbolism runs deep. These beads remind us to return to the present, to breathe, and to remain open-hearted.
Each one feels alive in your palm. Their natural grain, slight variations, and gentle wear speak of authenticity — of spiritual tools meant to be used, not just kept.

🧵 Handcrafted with Intention in Tibet
This mala was re-strung in Tibet, honoring the original strand while restoring it for modern use. The Bodhi seed guru and stupa beads maintain the continuity of its sacred energy.
It’s finished with a yellow, non-stretch cord and tassel — chosen for durability and brightness. The colors offer a vivid contrast to the earthy beads, creating a balanced feel that’s both grounded and light.
