Bodhi Seed Mala 108 Beads for Meditation From Bodh Gaya India BSM-04 108 genuine bodhi seed beads. My trip to Nepal this time i found these bodhi seed malas. The bodhi seed beads on this mala came from Bodh Gaya India where The Lord Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. For your meditation i think it would be a special mala. These are smallest bodhi seed beads you can find these days. There are 108 bodhi seed beads on the string and each bead measures 10mm and the circumference of the mala is around 42 inches long. This bodhi seed mala comes with a handmade cloth bag but the color of the bags might vary. Malas are used all over by the Buddhists around the world especially they are used in Tibet, Nepal and India. You will always see the monks as well as lay people using them while walking around the stupas or temples or monasteries. A Mala is usually used for prostrations, counting mantras, and so on. It is worn on left wrist while not in use. Suggested Mantras for this mala &quot;Om Muni Muni Maha Muni ye soha&quot; To Lord Buddha Shakyamuni &quot;Om Tare Turi Tutari Turi Soha&quot; To White Tara &quot;Tayatha Om Pekatse Pekatse Maha Pekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha&quot; To medicine Buddha. These malas are strung in Kathmandu Nepal. Great for meditation
