Tibukkyo Derong Collection: Aged wood with full grain, Liudaomu (Dragon-Subduing Wood), 8mm round beads, 36 pieces - Design

Tibukkyo Derong Collection: In-stock, aged wood with full grain, Liudaomu (Dragon-Subduing Wood), 8mm round beads, 36 pieces. Inquire within. Material from Mount Wutai. Accessories: Giant clam/coconut shell spacers + five-color elastic cord. Our workshop's craftsmanship standards for Liudaomu: 1. Due to the high density and hardness of Liudaomu, dry grinding with machinery can easily lead to cracks. Our meticulous craftsmanship involves a semi-mechanical, semi-handcrafted process for bead turning, with a focus on preserving the integrity of the bead hole. In contrast, ordinary products may have misaligned bead holes. 2. "Full grain" signifies "full patterns." This involves using aged Liudaomu wood for bead turning, resulting in a deeper color and clearer patterns compared to new seeds. 3. Many Liudaomu beads with "green" lines are made from new wood. Matured seeds are brown, denser, and easier to polish. Fully grained Liudaomu develops a lustrous patina after polishing, appearing richer and brighter. Liudaomu can be considered a testament to meticulous craftsmanship! For those who enjoy observing changes, consider new Liudaomu seeds or Xingyue Bodhi beads, both of which undergo a transformation and develop a patina over time. Historically, due to different meditative practices, many Liudaomu beads underwent natural dyeing processes with cinnabar and butter. Otherwise, the original color of Liudaomu is white, which turns brown after polishing. For more details, please refer to "About Me" to contact our page. Wholesale and custom orders for Liudaomu are available. The Buddhist significance of Liudaomu: Liudaomu, also known as Dragon-Subduing Wood, originates from the sacred Buddhist site of Mount Wutai. Each bead features six naturally formed linear patterns, symbolizing the Six-Syllable Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum), and also carries the meaning of the "Six Realms of Rebirth," possessing the power to protect the home and ward off evil. For Tibetan Buddhism, blessed by the lineage master Tsongkhapa of the Gelug school, the six white lines represent Manjushri Bodhisattva's six wisdom swords, capable of severing the afflictions of sentient beings. The six realms (six patterns) also represent the Six-Syllable Mantra (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's Heart Mantra): Om Mani Padme Hum. Therefore, it is an ideal mala for chanting Manjushri Bodhisattva's name, Manjushri Bodhisattva's Heart Mantra, and Avalokiteshvara's Heart Mantra (the Six-Syllable Mantra). It also has the legend of "borrowing the six realms to transcend the six realms." In Esoteric Buddhism, it is also an ideal mala for practices related to Manjushri Bodhisattva. Many monks in the Exoteric tradition also favor wearing it. Meticulously crafted, inquire within. Material from Mount Wutai. Accessories: Giant clam/coconut shell spacers + five-color elastic cord.
