heart of compassion malas

I make authentic Buddhist malas, using semi-precious stones and special woods and seeds. Malas are strings of prayer beads used with a mantra, held, or worn gently as a way of praying, focusing, and staying mindful. Traditionally malas are used by Buddhists, Yogis, and Hindus. But these days more and more people from all lifestyles enjoy them.

My first handmade treasury on Etsy!

I’m so happy to share this treasury I made from things made by the Etsy Buddhist Team.  The theme, as you can guess, is the fire of rebirth, new life, and creativity!

Light the fire inside this New Year!
