【Sacred Tibetan Mala · Yak Bone and Dzi Bead Bracelet】

1. Yak Bone Mala Beads: A Vessel for Practice, Born of the Plateau

Sacred Origin:
Sourced from the bones of yaks that have died of natural causes, purified through monastic prayers and meticulously hand-polished. In Tibetan Buddhism, animal bone malas symbolize the profound teaching of "impermanence of life, where生死 (birth and death) itself is bodhi (awakening)."

Metaphor for Spiritual Practice:
Each bone bead resembles a "vertebra," strung together to form a path for overcoming the 108 afflictions—a constant reminder for the wearer to persevere on the path of diligent practice.

2. Dzi Beads: Crystallized Cosmic Energy

Ancient Legend:
Tibetans regard dzi beads as "gems fallen from the heavens," formed over hundreds of millions of years through the fusion of ancient meteorites, minerals from the earth’s core, and marine fossils. Their patterns are naturally formed, not artificially painted.

Power of Patterns:
Different motifs correspond to distinct esoteric meanings. For example:

• Two-Eyed Dzi: Symbolizes the balance of yin and yang.

• Tiger-Stripe Dzi: Represents fierce power to overcome obstacles.

Ultimate Meaning:
Dzi beads are considered "流动的曼荼罗 (flowing mandalas)," capable of harmonizing the body’s seven energy channels, absorbing negative energies, and transforming them into cosmic blessings.
