This mala is perfect for everyday use and great for counting mantras during meditation. It features 108 naturally stained lotus seed beads with traditional Tibetan spacer beads and guru bead. Made in Kathmandu, Nepal.
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. Their texture, weight and size are ideal for daily mantras and wearing.
Mala measures approximately 34 inches around. Lotus seed and vintage spacer beads are about 9mm. Guru bead is about 14mm.
I could not be more pleased with this mala! I collect malas and have actually lost count of how many I have. This is the third one I've purchased from Dharma Shop and it is easily my favorite. It's not only aesthetically pleasing (absolutely beautiful), but it feels wonderful during meditation/japa. The lotus seeds are smooth and a perfect size for medium to large hands, and the adjustable knot allows you to determine for yourself how much space is in between each seed. And, of course, as with any purchase from Dharma Shop, it's nice to know my money is helping the citizens and artisans of Nepal. Om Mani Padme Hum ☮️️
Excellently made and beautiful Mala. Once again, a superior product. Further, I have never been disappointed with any product that I have ordered in the past 6-7 years.
My mala arrived fast and intact, carefully wrapped with love and so it was exciting to slowly unwrap it to reveal all of it's glory! The lotus seed beads are very beautiful and perfectly offset by the antique marker beads and gold spacer beads really bring it all together. I absolutely LOVE this mala and I am 'mala crazy'! I use malas in my everyday practice and for sadhanas and have amassed quite a collection from my travels as well and this is definitely one of my favorites. I added a pair of white metal counters I purchased from here (DharmaShop) and it really makes this mala visually appealing. The beads are nicely strung on strong cord along with an adjustable snake knot and end beads rather than a tassel (yay!) which is a big plus because I prefer this to a tassels and the snake knot is tied perfectly! This is another A+++ mala from DharmaShop! Many thanks to the DharmaShop and the creator of this perfect piece! Mangalam! ️
