Dark Bodhi Seed Wrist Mala

54 | 13

$ 54.00

Strung by hand in Kathmandu using authentic, dark Bodhi seeds – symbols of awakening and resilience, used by monks and meditators for centuries.
Larger beads offer a grounding feel in the hand– perfect for tangible meditation, counting for calm, or simply fidgeting to stay present.
Finished with a simple knot and guru bead to honor the path – a nod to tradition while quietly supporting your modern mindfulness practice.

Sown in our story since 1999. Bodhi seed beads are ideal for mantra counting, breathwork, or any moment you just need to recenter. Their dark, natural speckling isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful. Bodhi means enlightenment in Sanskrit, and these seeds are often called “little teachers” for the quiet wisdom they carry. Just as the Buddha reached awakening beneath the Bodhi tree, each seed serves as a reminder to pause, breathe, and grow—one moment at a time.

Also included in our Dark Bodhi Seed Mala & Bracelet Set!

The Beautiful Dark Bodhi Seed Wrist Mala

This wrist mala is just lovely. I'd been eyeing it for a long time, finally decided to go for it, and I couldn't be more pleased. The seeds are very consistently sized and color matched. It's very nicely strung as well. It's substantial without being heavy, and reminds me to remain in the present, and to keep my calm. I have a very average sized wrist, and ordered the small size. It's a little big, so I just wear my fitness tracker below it and it doesn't slip down. I'm very happy to have it and feel good wearing it. Thanks for making this beautiful mala available, Dharma Shop!

I returned it and have not heard back yet.

It was well made but too small for me. I could not get it over my hand. The beads were also larger than I expected. I am interested in your rosewood mala if you get it back in stock. It looks adjustable. Thank you.

Are the beads actually fig tree seeds?

DharmaShop 05/27/2025

Hello Jack, Thank you for your question! Just to clarify, our wrist mala is made from genuine bodhi seeds, not fig tree seeds.

Do you all have care suggestions? Is it OK to wear ALL the time? Can I get it wet? I did by the oil, how often should I put it on?

Answers (1)

DharmaShop 01/23/2024

Hey Jon! Thanks so much for reaching out to us. We do suggest removing your wrist mala when washing, swimming, etc. for it will cause premature wear on these materials. Bodhi seeds are porous in nature, so oiling them occasionally can help as well. To learn more about how to care for your mala beads, please visit: https://www.dharmashop.com/pages/materials-care-and-washing-instructions I hope this information is helpful! We appreciate your inquiry and support.

I love my wrist Mala that I recently purchased from Dharma Shop! Where do the bodhi seeds used come from?

DharmaShop 01/10/2024

Hello Linda, thanks for your message! All of our bodhi seed malas are sourced and strung by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal. I hope this information is helpful. We appreciate your inquiry and support.

How do I loosen my wrist Mala. It is so tight I cannot adjust it. TY.

Answers (1)

DharmaShop 12/22/2023

Hey Barbara! Thanks for your message and inquiry. The hand-tied knot serves as a tube through which the two cords slide. Without untying or loosening the knot, grasp the beads of the bracelet on either side of the knot and firmly pull. The first few times may require greater strength as the cords are exercised. To tighten, grasp the toggle beads and pull. I have also included a video below which helps further detail the adjustable knot feature. I hope this information is helpful! Let us know if you have any additional questions. https://www.dharmashop.com/blogs/news/how-to-adjust-your-mala-beads

I just ordered and received this bracelet and am wondering if you would recommend taking it off before showering because it's made from seeds?

Answers (1)

DharmaShop 01/10/2024

Hello Hamilton, thanks so much for reaching out to us! We would suggest removing your mala when washing or swimming for it could affect not only the porous seed beads but also the cotton fiber cord. I hope this information is helpful. We appreciate your inquiry and support.
