Modern Tibet Mala Bead Bracelets

Mala Bead Bracelets have been worn by Buddhists for centuries as a means for counting the number of times a Mantra or prayer has been recited, similar to a Christian Rosary. In modern times, they are worn as a reminder to be present in ones actions, or to keep a specific intention in mind. We have described some of the traditional meanings of the semi-precious stones and other materials used to make these malas, many of which were created by Tibetan refugees, selling under the name Modern Tibet - these descriptions are for information only and are not a guarantee that the stone will work that way for you. Please be assured that the money you spend on beads by Modern Tibet has been paid directly to the artisans, and is helping them survive while in exile.
