Symbolism and Use ◇ The Kapala (human skull) is a profound symbol in Tibetan Buddhism, representing impermanence (Anicca) and the transcendence of ego. It serves as a constant reminder of the transient nature of existence, encouraging practitioners to pursue ultimate liberation. ◇ As a Guru bead, it is the most significant bead on a mala, marking the beginning and end of a cycle of 108 recitations. It is the focal point of the mala, representing the teacher and the path to enlightenment. ◇ This antique Kapala Guru bead combines these powerful symbols, making it a highly sought-after item for serious practitioners and collectors. It is a tangible link to ancient and sacred Tibetan traditions.
