Mala Beads

Traditionally used in Buddhist practice, mala beads are a simple tool for supporting meditation, mantra recitation and mindful awareness.

Each mala is made with 108 sandalwood or lotus seed beads, the traditional number used for counting repetitions of a mantra or prayer. Moving through the beads one by one can help maintain attention and provide a gentle physical rhythm to practice.

Within Tibetan Buddhist traditions, mantra recitation is not simply about repetition, but can form part of a wider practice of presence, awareness and familiarisation with the mind. A mala can be held quietly in the hand as a practical companion to this practice.

Our malas are available in sandalwood and natural lotus seed, each with its own distinctive texture, tone and character. As these are natural materials, subtle variations in colour, shape and surface are part of their individual beauty.
