Mala Beads- Sandalwood

Mala Beads- Sandalwood

Sandalwood malas are one of the most popular of malas as the cooling and pacifying qualities of sandalwood are praised in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain texts. In Vajrayana Buddhists texts in particular, sandalwood malas are considered appropriate for any kind of practices, be they pacifying, increasing, magnetizing or destroying. They are thus prized by Vajrayana Buddhists in Tibet, Nepal, the Himalayan region, China, Japan, and Korea for example.
