TANUA NUT MALAS - THE IVORY ALTERNATIVE

Help save the wild life... Help save the rain forest!..


Looking just like ivory, these beautiful white beads are made from tropical tagua nut, used by the Mayas and Incans for emotional and spiritual health. The beads in both the full and hand malas are approximately 9 mm, with a larger head bead topped with a silky red tassle. In addition, the full mala has smaller beads that work as markers for 7 and 21 repetitions. The hand mala has 21 beads and stretches slightly to slip easily on and off your wrist.


Tagua Nut (Philetelas Microcarpas), also called the Vegetable Ivory Nut, is the ivory alternative. The ivory nut is close grain and very heard. The cellular structure and grain is similar to that of elephant ivory, but is more dense and resilient. It resembles the finest ivory in texture and color. Malas are used to count mantras, prayers, and prostrations. They consist of 108 beads. The largest beads called the GURU bead and it symbolizes the Spiritual Source or the Teacher. There are 108 beads (each size 7mm), with 4 counter beads (size 5mm) at position 7, and 21, at opposite sides of the GURU bead. This makes it easy to locate position 7 and 21 for certain prayers and mantras which are required to be practiced 7 and 21 times. These 3 smaller beads should not be counted. The GURU bead is 9mm. The Mala is hand strung with polyester whipping twine. Tassel is 100% cotton. All beads of the mala are tagua nuts.


Tagua and Animal Ivory


Because of its close resemblance to animal ivory the nut of the tagua palm has had a long history as a useful product .Before the invention of plastics tagua was used in the making of buttons and other common items such as jewelry, dice, chess pieces and cane handles. In fact, some expensive "ivory" pieces from the Victorian era were actually made from tagua nuts.

Tagua products are experiencing a comeback in an effort to protect endangered species such as elephants, whales and walruses that have been a source of animal ivory. In one year a tagua palm produces the same amount of "ivory" as one female elephant. The tagua nuts, however, are harvested by hand without harming the tree.

Kimle tanışmak isterim:

I had the great honor to meet in person with H.H. The Dalai Lama and H.H. Sakya Trizin. I have received initiations in the Lower and Higher Yoga Tantras and my Tibetan name, Kunga Chodrin, from H.H. Sakya Trizin.


I also had the pleasure to meet and practice with Lama Kalgsang and Ane Kunga, from Sakya Phuntsok Ling, here in South Florida, as well as meeting several times with the incredible and energetic Lama Pema.


In between I have also had the honor to meet other Dharma Teachers, Lamas, Rimpoches, from all the Tibetan Denominations and have received their teachings and initiations as well.


In the past few months I've had the honor to meet over the phone with Lama Lobsang Dawa. His simplicity and honesty in life are what is helping me survive hard times. Lama Dawa has shown me how important is to first practice to be a human being before being a Dharma practicioner. The practice of Bodhichita is his passion. Lama Dawa has a way with words that makes you understand in the low level which hits your heart and wisdom in an instant! Thank you Lama Dawa for your pacience and for understanding that I'm a human being with the aspiration to receive your teachings at heart and with diligency I will follow it.


It would be the greatest pleasure before I pass into my next life to meet other Dharma Gurus, brothers, and sisters.
