Shakya Design offers mala prayer beads in bodhi seed. Bodhi seeds are rich in tradition. It was under a Bodhi tree that the Buddha Shakyamuni sat before his Enlightenment. A sapling from that tree was carried to Sri Lanka some three centuries later by the female monk, Sanghamitta, and the great tree that grew from that sapling still stands today. Bodhi seeds represent spiritual promise and possiblity, a sense of dedication and faith in nurturing the "seed" of practice.
Shakya Design bodhi seed malas are offered in both light and dark bodhi seeds.
Light bodhi seeds are medium to light reddish-brown in color, oval in shape and generally have a smooth finish. The beads range from 12-13mm in diameter. Dark bodhi seeds are medium to dark brown, have more defined shoulders, and distinct surface veining and irregularities. The beads range from 11-13mm in diameter. NOTE: Both light and dark bodhi seeds have irregularities in shape and color and vary in size within each mala.

easily over these beads. Blessings to you for what you put into what you send."
