Authentic Monk-Owned Bodhi Mala
Description ◇ This is a truly complete and original Bodhi mala, with all its old parts still in place. It was collected in Tibet about 20 years ago and was previously owned and used by a monk. The main 108 beads are Bodhicitta from Nepal, each with a beautiful, natural feel. The patina and wear on every bead tell a story of a long spiritual journey.

◇ Nepal Bodhicita beads: 12mm
Details ◇ Origin: Collected in Tibet, Bodhicitta from Nepal

Symbolism and Use ◇ A Bodhi mala is a central tool in Tibetan Buddhist practice, used for counting mantra recitations. The many added beads and amulets each carry their own meaning—coral for life force, turquoise for protection, and the Kapala and Chitipati for reminders of impermanence. This mala is a powerful and sacred tool for personal practice.
