📿 A Bodhi Tree Seed Mala That Carries Quiet Strength
This Bodhi Tree Seed Mala feels like a steady breath — grounding, warm, and deeply familiar. Each brown Bodhi seed bead, once part of a full-length mala, carries the soft polish of time and use. The beads are naturally shaped, slightly earthy, and full of quiet energy. Re-imagined into a wrist mala, it’s now compact and easy to wear — yet still rooted in tradition. The red and yellow cord adds a subtle spark, like firelight woven through wood.
It’s a piece that feels both worn and ready — like it's been waiting to meet your practice.
🌱 The Deeper Meaning of a Bodhi Tree Seed Mala
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds symbolize the historical moment of enlightenment — when the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and awoke to truth. These seeds, often used in malas, quietly remind us to return to presence, again and again.
This Bodhi Tree Seed Mala features 21 prayer beads, each around 10×11.7mm, with a matching Bodhi seed guru bead at the center. Their natural texture and shape invite touch and stillness — a tactile cue to slow down and reconnect.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet with Purpose
This mala was handmade in Tibet, using 40–50-year-old Bodhi seeds sourced from a vintage strand. The beads were carefully selected and re-strung by hand, preserving their original energy while giving them a fresh, wearable form.
Crafted with a durable, non-stretch red and yellow cord, it’s finished with a handmade tassel in matching tones. Every knot reflects intention, every thread holds meaning.
