Our Dragon Wood beads are specially sourced from the slopes of sacred Wutaishan (Mount Wutai) in China. Buddha mentioned in the sutras that Wutaishan is located between his eyebrows and that is where Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, would reside to teach and benefit sentient beings. Thus, Manjushri's blessings pervade all of Wutaishan and everything that grows in that region.
Each 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 Guanyin. 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.
