Description

The Wisdom mala has 111 beads, crafted from a variety of semi-precious gemstones: rock crystal, yellow onyx, red jasper, jade, lapis lazuli, and carnelian. It features a stupa bead made from white metal, inscribed with the powerful mantra OM MANI PAD ME HUM in Tibetan. This bead channels the compassionate energy of the guru or teacher, and serves as a focal point for meditation.

The tassel of the mala is intricately crafted with strings in bright colours representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas:

– White for Buddha Vairochana, symbolising purity and the element of space. Mantra: Om Ah Vairochana Hum.
– Red for Buddha Amitabha, representing discernment and the element of fire. Mantra: Om Ah Amitabha Hum.
– Blue for Buddha Akshobhya, embodying mirror-like wisdom and the element of water. Mantra: Om Ah Akshobhya Hum.
– Yellow for Buddha Ratnasambhava, symbolising equanimity and the element of earth. Mantra: Om Ah Ratnasambhava Hum.
– Green for Buddha Amoghasiddhi, representing the wisdom of perfect practice and the element of air. Mantra: Om Ah Amoghasiddhi Hum.

The colours not only add aesthetic beauty but also help the practitioner familliarize with the distinct spiritual qualities associated with each Dhyani Buddha. This makes it a perfect tool for meditation, spiritual practice, and personal transformation.

It is also ideal for those seeking to harness the powerful numerological significance of the number 111, often associated with new beginnings, spiritual awakening, and heightened intuition.

Mala
A mala originally is a hindu and buddhist tool for prayer and meditation. It is used to count mantras during meditation. A mantra is a collection of words, often from Sanskrit, which is repeated several – traditionally 108 – times. While repeating, you focus on the meaning and vibration of the words, possibly combined with the accompanying visualisation. By training in a meditation practice like this, your thoughts come to rest and your body relaxes. Nowadays, a mala is also worn as a fashion accessory.
