Hi there

Is any particular reason for us to use the Sandal Wood or Lotus seed for the mala?

Another question is what is Bodhi Tree seed? Where I can buy it? It is the same as Lotus seed?

Ah now I have a mental picture!!! Thank you very much goat!!! Wonderfull!!

But, now, where I can buy it? I'm almost sure here in my country I will not be able to find anything like that... do you have any idea?

Does KC sell this kind of malas or Bodhi Tree Seeds for mala?

Thank you again for your help, attention, effort and patiente!

Kechara House does sell Bodhi Seed Malas! In fact they sell a wide range of malas.

I was delighted that they took the time and effort to explain about malas to me when i first visited their booth at a Buddhist Fair. I saw Bodhi seed malas, yak bone malas inlaid with coral and turquoise, crystal malas, etc.


This is from the other thread: Question re Kechara Outlets

that question solved, now we have the question does Kechara house sell products on-line?  it would be nice. imo

we're currently working on a system that lets you buy stuff online, but if you do wanna buy stuff send a PM to darkie, the other admin =)
