Mala, Buddhist rosary, 108 pipal seeds also called Bodhi seeds (ficus religiosa), turquoise, agate called nan hong.

The mala, trengwa, in Tibetan is the rosary of the Buddhist, the object which the monk (even the lay practitioner) almost never separates, holding it in the hand or wrapped around the wrist. The mala is first of all a utilitarian object: it serves as a tactile support for the recitation of mantras, at the same time as it is used to count them if one has set oneself to repeat a defined number. The mala is made up of 108 strung beads, which justifies its name, since it simply means "garland" (of beads). The different components each have a precise symbolic meaning: The large pearl (or Buddha's head) which closes the loop represents the knowledge of emptiness. The little cone on top of it is the mark of emptiness itself.

These seeds acquire a patina and take on a beautiful sheen over time called a "porcelain layer". Our seeds come from Hainan Island known for growing and drying the finest quality in the world.

The Endless Knot or Tibetan Infinite Knot, placed in finish and turquoise, is a Buddhist symbol that represents the movement of that which is eternal, intertwining spiritual paths and time. The shape of the Endless Knot is evocative of wisdom and compassion in Tibetan Buddhism. The top and bottom of the symbol symbolize the interaction of opposing and dual forces, which ultimately come together and unite in the universe. The Tibetan Infinite Knot also represents the inseparability of the Void and the reality of existence. Finally, since the Knot has neither beginning nor end, it is also defined as the Wisdom of Buddha
