Hands Of Tibet Tibetan Mala Bodhi Seed Wrist Mala Bodhi Seed Beads From Bodh Gaya India BSM-24

Really happy with this purchase. It’s real wood beads and comes with a really beautiful pouch to store it in. Definitely recommend!

Amazingly fast delivery. This wrist mala is absolutely perfect. Great quality, the beads are beautiful, and the oils in my skin enhanced the grain and color of the beads. Very comfortable and easy to adjust. I have very thin wrists and it adjusts to fit my wrist perfectly. Last but not least the price is unbeatable. I will be purchasing more. I do use it for counting prayers and the beads move smoothly over my finger.

Fabulous quality mala. I wear mine 24/7 including in the pool and shower. I remove for prayer several times a day, so they get a lot of use. I do have to replace them about once a year but only due to seeds cracking from such regular and rough use. I've been buying these and the larger bodhi seed malas (red string) from Hands of Tibet for years now. I purchase several at a time and share them as gifts. Great value and highly recommended.

Bought this not to wear but to use as a short mala to anchor breaths during meditation. Goes nicely around the fingers without flopping around and making noise as a full length mala might. The 18 beads/seeds are very large, which is good for larger hands. The adjustment works perfectly. I also have a 108-bead bodhi seed mala from this company. Both are very well made and pleasant to use. This one is especially nice looking, if that matters to you. Mine is exactly as pictured.

The brown nylon string is high quality and strong, and there is a slip knot that works quite well to expand and tighten the bracelet. I love the bodhi seeds; I like the idea that it's seeds from the tree that the Buddha meditated under. I like the interesting pattern of the beads. I like that they are natural. The bag is kind of primitive, but I don't mind; I didn't buy it for the bag. There were only 17 beads, not the 18 in the description. The seeds are a bit rough; that would be OK, but I wondered whether they needed to be sealed with some sort of lacquer to protect them from dampness. But the major problem was that one of the seeds was cracked almost all the way through, and after a couple of weeks it caught on some clothing and broke. See the image. However, I must add that Amazon's return policy is amazing... they sent me a return label and refunded the price right away! Then I tried the Phoenix Eye Bohi Seed Mala bracelet (https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Tibetan-Buddhist-Prayer-Bracelet/dp/B00CTEIX0O/ref=pd_rhf_cr_p_img_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XT33S7H209DWMSN2H0FW). It is on an elastic cord. I didn't like it as well. Its beads were too big to wear as a bracelet; they got in the way. And they were polished and sealed, which was too processed looking for me. After a day or two I decided I didn't like it as well, and I missed the more primative one. So I bought another of these Tibetan mala seed bracelets, and this time although they are rough, I don't see any cracks. Also, it has 18 beads. I'm very happy now. By the way, I got a full 108 bead necklace from a different vendor with the same bodhi beads that were lacquered, and much higher quality (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A3WG5N0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I would buy from them again.

It came in a handmade bag! It is really special with sanded seeds and strong string.

I’ve traveled to Bodhgaya, India. Very difficult! I sat and meditated under the Bodhi tree where I witnessed these seeds everywhere. These ones appear to be exactly like the ones I got when I was there. They’re beautiful !!! Thanks for having and sharing the real thing!

This bracelet is lighter than I thought it would be, but it is comfortable to wear, and it is well strung. The seeds are pretty well matched for size and color. The photo is an honest representation of the item that you receive, unless it arrives damaged in the mail. It comes in a small plastic bag which is put into a larger bubble protected envelope to mail it. The small pouch is a bit lesser in quality. It has tassels which fray easily when handled, but the bracelet alone is worth the cost. The draw string on the bracelet is knotted well, but it is a little tight to open when putting it on your wrist. I'm thinking it will loosen with daily use. It would make a nice small gift to a friend.

Questo mala ha 18 grani in legno di sandalo ed è ben costruito. Il filo è robusto, non elastico ed è scorrevole per adeguarsi a polsi di diversa grandezza. Le palline sono di media dimensione, ma sufficientemente grandi da poter essere utilizzato durante la meditazione, senza problemi. soddisfatto

highly recommended

non é un bracciale ma una collana, molto bella ma non é quello che ci si aspetta da questo ordine

very good quality :):) however because I didn't take it off when showering, it doesn't look as good as before :(
