The Symbolism Within Tibetan Mala Prayer Beads

In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds are more than just beads. They represent the Buddha’s awakening — a timeless reminder of presence, clarity, and compassion.

Used in Tibetan mala prayer beads, they become tools for stillness, devotion, and daily grounding. These particular beads, each around 11mm, are smooth with age and rich in texture. Their natural darkness carries a quiet weight — not heavy, but grounding.

Handmade in Tibet With Intention

These Tibetan mala prayer beads were re-strung by hand in Tibet, using pre-owned Bodhi seeds estimated to be between 40–50 years old. The strand includes a matching Bodhi seed guru and stupa bead, keeping the lineage whole and spiritually aligned.

It’s strung on a strong, red non-stretch cord, chosen for durability and quiet elegance. The red handmade tassel adds a final touch of texture and balance — simple, but intentional.
