A Mala That Warms the Spirit
This Bodhi seed mala feels like a quiet sunrise.
Its beads are soft with age, strung from an original mala that’s seen decades of practice. There’s a warmth to it — not just from the vibrant orange cord, but from the calm energy it carries.
You don’t just wear it. You feel it.
Rooted in Meaning
In Buddhist tradition, Bodhi seeds symbolize the moment of enlightenment — when the Buddha sat beneath the Bodhi tree and awakened to truth. These deep brown beads carry that essence. Stillness. Growth. A return to what’s real.
They’re compact and smooth, easy to turn through your fingers, with a weight that gently reminds you to come back to center.

Handmade in Tibet
This mala was carefully re-strung in Tibet using authentic Bodhi seeds from a 30–40-year-old strand. The guru and stupa beads are also Bodhi seed, keeping the energy unified and intact.
The green cord and tassel add a soft, grounding touch — a spark of calm balanced by the earthy tones of the beads. Every detail was chosen to support focus, simplicity, and intention.
How to Use It
This Bodhi seed mala is made to be used — not just worn. Whether you're sitting, walking, or simply breathing, it's there to support your spiritual rhythm.
- Mantra repetition or japa practice
- Breath counting during meditation
- Daily grounding on the go
- Wearing as a mindful reminder
- Placing on your altar between sessions

Import Taxes & Customs Duties
United States Import Taxes & Customs Duties
We pay all import duties, tariffs and customs clearance fees before your parcel reaches you. The price at checkout is the final price, and nothing is owed to the carrier at delivery.
What we cover on US orders:
- Import duties and tariffs
- Customs clearance and brokerage fees
- Any carrier disbursement or advancement fees
If a carrier ever asks you to pay a customs charge on one of our parcels, do not pay it. Contact us with the notice and we will resolve it directly with the carrier.
Import Taxes & Customs Duties for Other Countries
We only cover import charges on orders shipped to the United States. For all other countries, the buyer pays any import taxes and duties.
Here's why. We can do this because we're based in the US. This allows us to stay up to date on changes to US import taxes and duties, and since most of our orders ship here, we know what to expect.
Other countries are different. Every country sets its own import taxes and duties, and the rules are different everywhere. The amount can depend on the type of product, the value of your order, and your country's tax rates. These rates can also change without much notice. Since we can't know the exact charge ahead of time, we aren't able to cover it.
What you may need to pay on non-US orders:
- Import duties and taxes, such as VAT or GST
- Customs clearance and brokerage fees
- Any carrier handling fees
The carrier usually collects these charges before or at delivery. To find out what you might owe, contact your local customs office before you order.
