Details
Also known as six-line or six-grain wood, Dragon Wood is specially sourced from the slopes of the sacred Wu Tai Shan (Mount Wutai) in China. The Buddha mentioned in the sutras that Wu Tai Shan is located between his eyebrows and that is where Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, would reside, teach and benefit sentient beings. Thus, Manjushri's blessings pervade all of Wu Tai Shan and everything that grows in that region.
Each individual mala bead is painstakingly hand-carved and has exactly six lines of natural wood grain, which symbolises OM MANI PEME HUM, the mantra of Chenrezig or Kuan Yin. The six lines also symbolise being free of rebirth in the six realms of existence - in other words, the achievement of Enlightenment.
Dragon wood is well known for its dense texture and smooth surface, making it very hardy and virtually unbreakable. The dragon wood shrub also grows very slowly, making such malas very rare and highly prized by Buddhists the world over.
This exclusive mala has been blessed by the Dharma Protector of Kechara during trance in the monastery. As trances are a very rare occasion even in the monasteries, so are the items blessed by the Protector.
Our blessed malas are highly sought after as they are imbued with the Dharma Protector’s energies, blessings and presence. As such, when one uses a blessed mala, it unlocks our karmic potentials and opens the seeds of Enlightenment in our mindstreams, enabling us to realise the full benefit of our practices and achieve attainments swiftly.
Blessed malas can be worn around the neck or wrist for a continuous supply of positive energy and protection from harm and spirit disturbances. The mala can be placed on the head of an individual disturbed by negative energies for blessings and protection. The blessed mala can also be placed on the head of a dying person to help the person pass on peacefully.
