Tibetan Style Adjustable Sandalwood Necklace Mala

A Buddhist Sandalwood mala is a string of prayer beads traditionally used in Buddhist meditation practices. The mala is made up of 108 beads, which symbolize the 108 worldly desires that a person must overcome to achieve enlightenment.

The sandalwood used to make the mala is highly valued in Buddhist culture due to its calming and soothing properties. Sandalwood is believed to promote relaxation, enhance spiritual awareness, and increase mental clarity.

The mala is typically made with sandalwood beads that are strung together with a cord or thread, with a larger bead at the center known as the guru bead. This bead is used as a marker for the start and end of a meditation session.

Buddhist practitioners use the mala to recite mantras or prayers, with each bead representing one repetition of the mantra. The mala is held in the right hand, with the thumb and middle finger used to move from one bead to the next.

The use of a Buddhist Sandalwood mala is considered to be an important part of one's spiritual practice, as it helps to focus the mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm.
