Mala & Bodhi

Mindfulness · Devotion · Focus · Awakening

Prayer beads and bodhi seeds connect repetition, mindfulness, and devotion with the Buddhist ideal of awakening.

Mala beads are used in Buddhist practice to count prayers, names, or mantras, while bodhi recalls awakening and the Buddha’s enlightenment beneath the bodhi tree. The repeated movement of the beads can also symbolize returning the mind to focus, intention, and awareness—again and again.
