It is believed that while Prince Siddhartha was sitting under a bodhi tree meditating, he became Buddha through enlightenment. Sacred Seed Malas: Why They are Meaningful to Wear: Many Buddhist wear the bodhi seeds during their meditation practices to ultimately reach enlightenment. The seeds have a special significance to all seekers of divine wisdom as it is under the bodhi tree that Buddha became enlightened. Each seed brings a sense of peace and wisdom on the path to one's own enlightenment. There is a teaching within each bead as they can be used for mantra counting, prayer and meditation. Invite bodhi seeds into your mindful practice and spiritual journey to enhance your awareness and connection. ••• WHAT IS A MALA? ••• Mala is a Sanskrit word meaning "garland". It is the term for a string of beads that has been used by sages and those with spiritual aspirations for thousands of years. Yogis and Buddhists were the first to use Mala to enhance their spiritual practices. Also called yoga beads, mala is used to keep count of mantra repetitions, or japa, during meditation. Mala can be made of 108 (or fewer 8, 27 and 54) beads and a guru bead. The number 108 (8, 27, 54 numbers inside 108) is a sacred number: it is linked to the Sacred "OM", which is said to be the sound of the creation. ••• WHY SKULL? • Skulls have a good and powerful meaning we are fascinated by and we love to share it. As a symbol, skull is very ancient and it carries deep meanings; it has been found in many cultures: for Buddhism skull reminds us the impermanence of everything in the world; for Maya culture it represents death as transformation, changing, which means the ability to put and end to something we don't like in our life. •• •• •• •• Due to the nature of handmade and seed, products are subject to slight natural variations.
