Monk Blessed 108 Bead Conch Shell Mala

The 108 bead Mala is an ancient meditation tool. The more it is used, the more energy is infused within it. The more one recites positive intentions or sacred mantras on its beads, the more positively powerful it becomes.

This Mala has been blessed by monks from the Woechen Thuk-Je Choeling Monastary. Each bead has been charged with positivity by lifelong monks through the recitation of the ancient mantras.

Why Conch Shell?

Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, and soothing to the touch, but it's also one of the 8 auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing the speech of the Buddha.

About Woechen Thuk-Je Choeling Monastery

This monastery is located 365 steps above Kathmandu, Nepal. It is situated next to Swayambhu Temple, one of the holiest Buddhist temples in the world. In the words of its modern founder, Monk Rinpoche, this temple is dedicated to the “restoration of a harmonious human society, and for the well being of every sentient being in this world.”
