Featuring Naturally stained lotus seed beads combined with vintage-style traditional Tibetan spacers beads and an inlaid brass guru bead. The lotus flower is prized and honored among Buddhists. The pure, delicate flower arises from bogs and slowly develops a beautiful seed head from which these seeds are extracted. These dried seeds are then smoothed and sealed to make a lasting prayer bead mala. It's texture, weight and size are ideal for daily mantras and wearing.
These mala beads are great if you like a natural seed bead in a smaller size. Seed beads are some of the most common malas used in Tibet and Nepal. These seeds are sustainable and are harvested each year then drilled and made into mala beads. With meaning similar to the Bodhi seed, many practitioners use Raktu malas for their essence and inherent teachings of enlightenment within each seed.
