10mm Bodhi Seed Mala, Buddha Chitra Prayer Beads From Temal Nepal

This 10 mm Bodhi Mala is made from natural, unaltered, high quality seeds sourced directly from Temal Nepal, the region known for producing some of the finest Buddha Chitta beads. Each mala contains 108 beads, measuring between 10.1 mm to 10.9 mm, with a beautifully matched 3 eye guru bead of approximately 15 to 16+ mm, in total 108+1 beads. Please note some beads in the mala could be of 9+mm as well but none will cross 10.9mm mark.

When you hold this mala, you will feel the gentle weight, the smooth texture, and the natural warmth that only authentic Bodhi seeds carry. These are true Phoenix Eye Bodhi beads, not polished wood, not dyed seeds, and not machine-made imitations. This is the real natural color mala used by practitioners, monks, and lineage holders across the Himalayan regions.

Genuine Bodhi Malas like this are deeply valued in Vajrayana Buddhism and by advanced meditators. People who work with Bodhi beads often say they help them stay steady during long practice, deepen mantra recitation, and bring a sense of grounding and clarity to the mind.

Bodhi seeds from Temal grow very slowly. Every season, farmers handpick the seeds one by one. Out of hundreds of trees, only a few seeds reach the perfect size and shape needed for a high-grade mala.
To give you an idea:
From 100 Bodhi trees, you may get only 50 pieces of 10 mm mala
Maybe 10 pieces of 9 mm mala
And if the season is truly blessed, 2 or 3 pieces of 7 mm or 8 mm mala

This is why these beads are considered precious. Their rarity, combined with the tradition of using them only for prayer and meditation, makes the Bodhi Mala a treasure for both practitioners and collectors.

Please be aware of the wooden imitations or artificially altered beads found in the market and sold as Buddha chitta or Bodhi seeds. They may look similar in photos, but they do not carry the same life energy, weight, or natural markings as real Bodhi seeds.

If you prefer higher grade, smaller beads, or a different natural color tone, we can customize a mala especially for you based on your preference. Your mala will be shipped directly from Nepal, prepared with care and packed safely. If you would like, we can also energize the mala at a local monastery or add a custom tassel or thread color.
