Custom Bodhi and Bone Mala

This special mala has been designed and assembled by Kunga. It features 12 mm Bodhi seeds combined with animal bone beads. Each individual bead here has been meticulously hand carved into the shape of a human skull. Skeletons are often featured in Buddhist artworks to remind the wearer of impermanence and how fleeting each moment in our life is. 

Bodhi trees are indigenous to Nepal and the Himalayan region. Bodhi beads can be identified by the eye patterns that occur naturally on them. Almost every Tibetan monk can be seen with a Bodhi mala in their hand or wrapped around their wrist.

Why are Bodhi Malas Special?

The word 'Bodhi' means 'awakened' in Sanskrit and many devotees use these beads to achieve their full spiritual potential. It is an excellent choice for personal, daily use in prayer and meditation. In fact, many people use this as a general 'all-rounder' mala for various spiritual practices. 

Our Bodhi Mala

The Bodhi beads in this mala are large (approximately 12 mm), tactile and round in shape. This mala is of excellent value too as smaller beads tend to be more expensive. It has been lightly stained and polished with vegetable oil. Note that the price of such malas have decreased substantially in the last 2-3 years due to increased supply. Therefore, now is an excellent time to buy such malas.
