Bhutanese Tibetan or Nepalese Mala Prayer Beads Bodhi Seed Rosewood Vajra
& Bell Dorje 19" / 108 Beads!
This beautiful set of Bhutanese Mala Prayer Beads is handcrafted with Bodhi Seed Rosewood. Additionally it has a turquoise accent stone, one tasseled base bead (the tassel has become detached and can easily be repaired) and both a vajra and a bell. It’s strung on a 38-inch string and is 19-inches in length. Beads appear to be 10 mm or so (approximate).
This set is accented with a tasseled vajra (symbolizing the male principle, the fitness of action) which is held in the right hand and a tasseled bell (symbolizing the female principle, intelligence) which is held in the left hand, the interaction of the two ultimately leading to enlightenment. Worked for me (mostly).
The 108 beads are perfect for meditation and prayer, while the brown color and contemporary design make it a great addition to any collection. These prayer beads are a unique piece of art from Bhutan or Nepal (I can’t remember which) that will transport you to another world with its intricate design and craftsmanship.
The Bodhi seed is commonly referred to as the wisdom tree and each seed is said to bear the fruits of knowledge for all beings. Hard to come by, rosewood is often substituted in the shape of the bead.
Bodhi seeds are used for spiritual promise, dedication and faith.
These beads can be used for counting all types of mantras, as well as other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations around your favored stupa, and more! They are the bestower of knowledge and the remover of obstacles.
