SYMBOLISM OF BONE :
My Buddhist practice revolves around impermanence. We live only in the present moment and it is helpful to remember that nothing lasts. Bones are featured prominently in Tibetan symbolism. This mala embodies the strength and connection to the Earth symbolized by bone. It amplifies prana (life force energy) and serves as a reminder of impermanence. This mala serves as a powerful reminder to be here now and to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.

A NOTE ON BONE BEADS :
In the Himalayas, it is typical for large animals such as yak or water buffalo to be used for service, food, clothing, and ritual items. Given the limited amount of resources and the religious practices of the people in the region, it is important that none of the animals goes to waste. These amazing bone beads are handcrafted by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.
