📿 A Tibetan Mala With the Energy of Time and Touch
This Tibetan Mala carries something you can feel the moment it rests in your hands — calm, weight, and memory. In other words, each Bodhi seed bead comes from a well-worn mala, shaped over decades of devotion and daily practice. The warm brown tones feel earthy and lived-in, while the natural texture of the seeds makes each one feel unique. Re-strung as a full mala necklace, it’s both functional and beautiful. Moreover, the silver-and-turquoise stupa bead and Bodhi seed guru bead add meaningful detail, while the red cord and tassel give it a bold, traditional finish.
For these reasons, it’s not just a piece — it’s a presence.
🌱 The Meaning Within a Bodhi Seed
In Buddhist tradition, Tibetan Mala beads made from Bodhi seeds reflect awakening — a reminder of the Buddha’s moment of enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. These seeds are more than just beads; they’re symbols of transformation, stillness, and the inner journey.
This mala includes 108 prayer beads, plus a Bodhi seed guru bead and a silver-turquoise stupa bead. Each bead measures about 10.8×11.8mm, offering a grounding feel in the hand and a rhythm that gently guides you back to center.

🧵 Handmade in Tibet With Deep Intention
This mala was handcrafted in Tibet, using 45–55-year-old Bodhi seeds sourced from an original, well-used strand. Every bead was selected for its character and energy, then re-strung by hand to honor its past and prepare it for new practice.
The red cord is strong and non-stretchy, built to last through years of use. It’s finished with a matching red tassel, a Bodhi seed guru bead, and a silver stupa bead inlaid with turquoise — small details that carry big meaning.
