Our lotus seed malas are 108 beads, three holed guru bead and beadknot. Made from real, quality lotus seeds 8mm(+-), slightly off-white as shown with red/ maroon markers and knotted end.

The lotus flower has great significance in Tibetan Buddhism. Many deities are depicted seated upon lotus flowers, or in some cases such as Padmasambhava (The Lotus Born), having arisen from Lotus Flowers. The lotus has a special quality of being so pristine and beautiful, and having prominently arisen from the murkiness of a swamp.

This signifies our 'Buddha Nature' where from the darkness of our confusion, the brightness of our awakened heart can be born.

These are imported and as with all imported items, our Sakura Designs 30 day craftsmanship guarantee is waived but these have been well crafted, and we are honored to support FAIR TRADE. If your mala should break however, we can offer restringing service. (Redesigns, made by Sakura Designs in the US, will differ from Imported Malas, since some of the materials have limited availability.)
