This genuine jade mala is traditionally strung with 108 smooth, hand-polished jade beads. Its distinctive guru bead embodies the sacred Om Ah Hung syllables, crafted from three separate stones: white shell, representing the pure Body of the Buddha, red carnelian representing Enlightened Speech, and deep blue lapis lazuli representing the mind of the Buddha. This tri-material guru bead is rarely found on commercially available malas and makes this a particularly meaningful Buddhist prayer mala for serious practitioners.
Jade has been revered across Tibetan, Chinese, and Southeast Asian traditions for millennia as a stone of harmony, protection, and longevity. It is believed to calm the nervous system, support emotional balance, and open the heart — making it well-suited for mantra recitation, japa mala practice, and daily meditation. This mala is especially recommended for those with a connection to Green Tara, whose practice emphasizes compassion, swift action, and the removal of obstacles.
