Sandalwood Mala

Sandalwood malas are one of the most popular of malas as the cooling and pacifying qualities of sandalwood are praised in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain texts. In Vajrayana Buddhists texts in particular, sandalwood malas are considered appropriate for any kind of practices, be they pacifying, increasing, magnetizing or destroying. They are thus prized by Vajrayana Buddhists in Tibet, Nepal, the Himalayan region, China, Japan, and Korea for example. 

There are several types of sandalwood and they are native to most of South Asia - India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka - as well as Australia, Indonesia, and Hawaii. Most famous members of this genus is Indian sandalwood that grows in South India. As Indian sandalwood is under threat of extinction, we do not sell any Indian sandalwood.

    Perfect for everyday practice. Not overly large. I use it for recitation at work. Larger bead size would get in the way while wearing for work. This size is my go to.

    Great mala for the price. Love the look of sandalwood and the bead size and hang are just enough for general practice without getting in the way

    Good size and light weight. Beads are not fully uniform but it is a nice piece with a solid build. Not elastic(which I don’t like on large mala). Should last a long time. I’ve ordered from Tibetan spirit before shop was even a thing. Solid company and product.
