Bodhiseed is the seed of the tree under which Lord Buddha meditated and received enlightment. It is traditionally the most popular and religious mala for Tibetan Buddhists. It absorbs the oil from your skin and from the environment to become a beautiful shinny and dark with age and use. Size of bodhiseed mala beads are approximately 10 mm. Each of our Bodhiseed Mala will have matching Guru Bead and matching Tassel. Note: All our Wooden and Seed Malas are well strung on Multi strands Nylon thread for extra strength. This is a adjustable mala - use the yellow nylon slider above the guru bead to adjust the length of the mala - wear in on your wrist or neck.
