Product Name: Natural Weathered Bodhi Seed Prayer Beads with Sachet Pendant — 108 Beads, Chicken-fat Yellow and Deep Patina

Product Description:

This rosary is made of 108 naturally weathered bodhi seeds, making it unique and imbued with rich spirituality. Each bodhi seed displays a beautiful patina, weathered by time, exhibiting a rich "chicken-fat yellow" and deep earthy tones. The beads can be strung together to form a classic Buddhist rosary and also used as a sachet pendant.

Main Material: Natural weathered bodhi seeds. These bodhi seeds are not artificially dyed or polished. Each bodhi seed has undergone natural oxidation and weathering, ultimately exhibiting a deep and uneven "chicken-fat yellow" and "deep patina" color, highly valued for its authentic, vintage texture and spiritual connotations.

Bead Details: This set contains 108 beads. 108 is a sacred number in Buddhist prayer beads used to count mantras, symbolizing overcoming 108 worldly afflictions and ultimately attaining enlightenment.

Key Features – Sachet Pendant: The prayer beads come with a sachet pendant, which can also be customized. You can add herbs and resins (such as sandalwood or frankincense) to transform the prayer beads into a portable fragrant altar.

Color and Texture: Its signature "chicken-fat yellow hue" refers to a deep, lustrous honey-yellow tone, contrasting sharply with the deep smoky brown or black natural texture. The surface has a subtle, naturally weathered texture, making each bead unique.

Uses: Primarily used as a prayer bead for chanting, meditation, mantra recitation, and mindfulness practice. Secondly, when used with a sachet, it can also serve as a meaningful spiritual accessory and a fragrant personal amulet.

✨ Product Story and Care Instructions

A Story of Time and Intention

This rosary embodies the tranquil wisdom of time itself. "Weathered" Bodhi seeds are highly valued because their transformation reflects our own spiritual journey—becoming smooth and wise through the trials of experience. The precious "chicken-fat yellow" color is a natural mark of age and devotion; with use and prayer, the color will gradually deepen, making your practice part of its story. The 108 beads act as a tactile map, helping you focus and meditate. The sachet pendant adds a touch of privacy: fill it with lavender for calm, sage for purification, or a note filled with sincere intentions. This piece connects the inner world of meditation with the sensory world, becoming the perfect tool for prayer, setting intentions, and carrying a sacred space with you.

Old Bodhi Rosary Care Guide

To respect the natural material and preserve its natural beauty, please follow these care guidelines:

Appreciate the patina: The unique color comes from natural oils and oxidation. This is not dirt and requires no washing. Do not use water, soap, or chemicals, as they will damage the natural patina, harm the Bodhi seeds, and cause them to crack.

Gentle Care: After prolonged wear, simply wipe the prayer beads gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and residual oils from your hands. This is the best and only way to clean them.

Nourish the Bodhi Seeds (Optional): After prolonged wear, if the prayer beads feel dry, you can apply a small drop of natural plant oil (such as camellia oil or almond oil) to your palm, rub your hands together, and then roll the prayer beads in your hands. Wipe away any excess oil immediately. This step should be done as infrequently as possible (once a year or less).

Handle with Care: The natural weathering process may make some seeds slightly fragile. Handle with care, avoiding dropping or impacting hard surfaces.

Energy Connection: The best way to "maintain" the prayer beads is through frequent use and focused concentration. Your own energy and intention will further enrich their meaning.
