Experience the serene energy of the lotus seed with this handcrafted mala, made from the seeds of a tree that grows on the foothills of the Himalayas. Although commonly referred to as "lotus-seeds," these beads are actually the seeds of a different tree, each possessing a unique natural speckled pattern. The “stars” represent the indeterminate number of specks on each bead, while the round indentation marks where the stem once was—symbolizing the “moon.” This beautiful mala is particularly auspicious for spiritual practices and is widely used in Vajrayana Buddhism.
Symbolism & Meaning
In Vajrayana Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and the blossoming of the mind. The lotus-seed mala is often associated with the Lotus Family of the Five Buddha Families and is revered for its deep spiritual significance. This mala is believed to be especially powerful for practices involving Amitabha, Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), and Tara. Each bead serves as a reminder of the journey from ignorance to enlightenment, representing the potential for transformation and spiritual growth.
