Wooden mala from Atelier Tibet based on a traditional model

This mala is handmade in the Tibetan studio according to traditional methods. The prayer chain consists of 108 dark-grained wooden beads (Ø 8 mm) and has a circumference of 88 cm. Its special elements alone give it an unmistakable character:

• Two Dzi beads: strikingly patterned in black and white, which are set as striking accents and traditionally symbolize protection and blessing.

• Guru bead with final knot: a larger central wooden bead, flanked by silver beads, from which two smaller beads hang down on orange thread.

• Counter strings: two pendants with silver-plated symbols - a vajra (dorje) and small disks - which are traditionally used to count recitation cycles.

• Lotus-shaped brass counters: used to clearly record larger cycles.

• Amber bead: positioned opposite the guru bead, as a warm contrast and balance point.

This mala is not only a tool for mantra practice, but also an individual piece of jewelry that gains patina and personality over time and thus increasingly becomes a reflection of the wearer's spiritual path.
