Wrist Malas or “Buddhist Bracelets”

Buddhist Bracelets, or wrist malas, are worn as a reminder of your practice and by serious practitioners they are used to count prostrations.  Fully lowering yourself to the ground at a holy site. These bracelets usually have 18, 21, 22, or 27 beads.   

Of course Buddhist Bracelets are worn by just about everyone now, as a fashion accessory or as a reminder of peace and calm. I often find myself counting the beads on my wrist mala during stressful times.    

We live in a time where you can find a Buddhist bracelet at your local supermarket. These inexpensive beads are often made of glass or faux gemstones. We offer hundreds of high-quality choices in all price ranges. All handmade, and all benefiting the artists who make them.
