Small Thai Buddha Beads

|

Sold Out $ 50.00

Thai monks make little ceramic Buddha amulets to sell in order to support their Wats (temples). They use the same amulet materials to make these beads. These great, traditional beads are made by hand, strung on durable cord, and blessed with 24 karat gold leaf. When these beads are blessed, they are sprinkled with gold. The gold will wear off in time and with use.

This mala measures approximately 38 inches around and contains 9mm beads.

A beautiful handmade mala.

What drew me to this mala is the interconnected nature of it. All the people that created and touched it and the love and care that went into it. Every day I hold it in both hands and admire the beautiful nature of it. I know one day the gold will fade and the earthiness of the bead will be more apparent. That's the beauty of it, I want to watch it change. The gold is covering the craftsmanship of the bead. It's as if I am unwrapping a small beautiful gift every day. It's a beautiful teaching in the impermant nature of all things.

Smaller Thai Buddha Beads

The beads were even more beautiful than pictured; the gold is very regal against the natural bead. Have had several comments about them and questions as to where I purchased!

"The" wabi-sabi beads

I learned about clay and gold Thai Buddha beads at Dharmashop and eventually had to see this mala in person (and bought and kept it). I think these are the ultimate wabi-sabi beads (the idea of beauty in imperfection, naturalness and impermanence). They are smooth to rough dark clay with varied, random gold leaf. Shiny and rough, each one is different, very, very cool beads. The mala is a bit stiff due to length and cording but that can be dealt with through gentle use or restringing.

Lovely beads!!

Beautiful beads at an amazing price!!They have a nice weight to them and feel good in my hands - not too big, not too small. They are quite stiff when you first get them, but do NOT try to stretch the stringing material as it's stiff and will not stretch ... you will end up busting them! Just work the beads together in your hands to remove the little bits of ceramic/clay off between them and this loosens them up to where they are not nearly as tight. They fit real good around my neck and also can be wrapped around my wrist, although their weight is such that I probably would not want them on my wrist long term. Overall - I highly recommend these beads.
