Old Tibetan Bodhi Seed Mala

A Mala That Holds Memory

This Bodhi seed mala carries presence. The seeds come from an older mala — softened by years of devotion, still holding the quiet strength of practice. When you hold it, you can feel its story. It’s grounded, humble, and deeply alive.

Sometimes, the simplest pieces speak the loudest.

The Meaning Within the Bodhi Seeds

Bodhi seeds are more than beads — they represent the Buddha’s awakening under the Bodhi tree. They remind us: clarity comes not from rushing, but from returning. These earth-toned seeds, with shades of brown and yellow, echo that message. Rooted. Patient. Awake.

Their texture is smooth, their size comfortable — a tactile invitation to presence.

Handmade in Tibet

This mala was re-strung by hand in Tibet, using authentic 40–50-year-old Bodhi seeds from the original strand. The guru bead is also Bodhi seed, keeping the energy connected. A bodhi stupa bead anchors the strand with warmth and grounding energy.

The red cord and tassel give it a clean, timeless finish. Every detail is intentional — honoring both tradition and simplicity.
