Description
Our Jujube Wood with Bodhidharma mala has a special large bead with a prayer on one side and an engraving of Bodhidharma on the other.
Bodhidharma is the Buddhist Monk who is believed to have brought Buddhism from India to China. He is considered the founder of Zen Buddhism in China, which eventually spread to Korea & Japan.
The prayer on the backside means, ‘Where you place your will, there you will achieve.”
Mala beads, also known as japamala, prayer beads, or Buddhist beads, originated in ancient India, where practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism have used them for centuries. The term “mala” translates to “garland” in Sanskrit, signifying a string of beads used for prayer and meditation. A larger bead, known as the Guru bead, marks the beginning and end of the Mala.
Craftspeople make mala beads from various materials such as wood, seeds, or gemstones, with each carrying its own symbolic significance.

Extremely over-priced, after purchased I saw the same item somewhere else for half of the price I paid.
I’m sorry you found our mala overpriced Luis. We endeavor to keep our prices as low as we can, while keeping the quality high.
Better than expected!
I always go to Still Sitting.
Great wrist mala! The fit is perfect.
Really lovely bracelet that serves as a nice reminder that zen practice doesn’t stop once you’re off the cushion.
Only complaint is that the knot that’s hidden inside the beads quickly came out and frayed, leading me to worry that it may come undone in a relatively short amount of time.
