Malas like this one are traditionally used by Buddhist monks while walking kora around sacred sites. During the early days of DharmaShop, we would purchase one-of-a-kind malas from the monks around Boudhanath Stupa. We've since found an incredible shop nearby that specializes the same handcrafted mala beads used by the monks during their pilgrimage! This monk's mala is handmade in Nepal using high-quality and authentic Bodhi Seed beads, and antique-style Tibetan bell and dorje mala counters that are hand strung on leather. We were only able to source a handful of these incredibly special malas, so grab one while you can! Walking kora is an important part in the lives of many Tibetans and Buddhists, including monks and nuns. This form of meditation involves walking clockwise around a sacred site, often spinning prayer wheels, counting malas, or repeating mantras. This simple practice calms the mind helps

Walking kora is an important part in the lives of many Tibetans and Buddhists, including monks and nuns. This form of meditation involves walking clockwise around a sacred site, often spinning prayer wheels, counting malas, or repeating mantras. This simple practice calms the mind helps the pilgrim, or one who circles, accumulate merit on their journey to spiritual enlightenment.
Bodhi Seed beads can be used for counting all types of mantras as well as other prayers. These dark-speckled seed beads have special meaning for all seekers of divine wisdom. Bodhi in Sanskrit means enlightenment; as an enlightened seed, many practitioners use these malas for their essence and inherent teachings within each seed.
Mala measures approximately 41 inches around. Beads are 10-11mm. Guru bead is about 15mm.
