Buddha mala
Authentic & Traditional Tibetan Mala
What is a Tibetan Mala?
The Tibetan Mala, or rosary (it is also often called a chaplet), is a necklace of 108 beads and is one of the first pieces of monastery jewelry created over three millennia ago. Buddhist monks designed it to count mantras during their prayers. Therefore, it is a gemstone with deep spirituality and is often associated with Buddhism.
Characteristics of the Tibetan Mala
The main feature of the Tibetan Mala is its 108 beads. These beads are used to count prayers. A Tibetan monk holds the necklace in his hands and uses one bead between his fingers, counting the number of times each mantra is recited. With every recitation, he moves to a new bead. Once this circuit is completed, it concludes a session of prayer on the Mala. This is why there may be a larger bead or pendant on this jewel, allowing the user to feel the completed circuit of the necklace without opening their eyes.
The Meaning of the Word "Mala"
Mala is Sanskrit for "meditation garland." This gem helps in better concentration, clearing the mind, and providing inner peace. It remains in use today by Buddhists and Hindus, as well as by those who are simply looking to improve themselves.
Why Wear a Tibetan Mala?
The Tibetan Mala is popular worldwide, even among those who do not practice Tibetan Buddhism, because it is believed that this prayer jewel provides spiritual protection. It is said to be full of positive waves as it is used in religious rituals. Made of 108 blessed beads, it protects against negative energies.
Benefits of the Tibetan Mala
Additionally, this gemstone can bring you closer to awakening or enlightenment, as it encourages the mind and aids in meditation relaxation. Wearing a Tibetan Mala around the neck can help you achieve full consciousness and amplify happiness. It is also versatile as an aesthetic gem.

What a Tibetan Gem Represents
Originally, this Tibetan jewel had religious and spiritual significance only. This made it popular among Buddhist monks for spiritual purposes. Since then, its use has become more widespread. Therefore, people who reflect on their health, spiritual growth, or practice yoga wear a traditional Tibetan Mala. It carries a meaning associated with joy and the relaxation of mind and body.
The Significance of the Number 108
Each time you chant with a Mala, you can track your progress. However, the number 108 holds significant meaning. It represents the 108 names of Buddha, the 108 Buddhist deities, and the numerous positions in yoga and Tai Chi. This invaluable jewel is believed to contain many radiant interpretations.

Let customers speak for us
Bought three lovely bracelets, and all exactly as described and delivered within a week of order. I would certainly use again. Communication on order/delivery and tracking was exceptional (although the emails I got were in French 😎). When I ordered on UK site, I didn’t appreciate that everything shipped from China - but wasn’t an issue at all. I give Tibetan Soul a 5 Star review simply because it was deserved
Orgonite Pendant "Sri Yantra - Sacred Protection" in Tiger's Eye
The colours of the bracelets are vibrant and they are well made. I have had other bracelets that often became loose through normal wear. Therefore, had to be constantly tightened. So far, these bracelets fit well, and look great.
