What Are Authentic Mala Beads Blessed by Monks?

What Is a Blessed Mala?

A blessed Mala is a string of prayer beads that has received a religious blessing from a Buddhist Monk or teacher. Mala beads are traditionally used to count mantras, prayers, recitations or breaths during meditation. A traditional Mala commonly contains 108 counting beads, although different bead counts and designs are used across Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

A blessing is an additional religious practice associated with the Mala. It does not change the basic function of the beads. A blessed Mala remains a set of prayer beads that can be used for meditation, mantra practice, prayer or worn as a personal reminder of Buddhist practice.

For many people, the significance of a blessed Mala is the connection it creates with their spiritual practice and with the Buddhist tradition from which the blessing comes.

What Does It Mean When Mala Beads Are Blessed?

The meaning of a blessing can vary according to the Buddhist tradition, the Monk performing the blessing and the person receiving it.People may seek a blessing for reasons including:

Personal spiritual practice
Meditation and mantra practice
A reminder of Buddhist teachings
Safe travel
Personal protection
Good fortune
Peace and positive intention
A meaningful religious gift

A Buddhist blessing should not be understood as a scientific guarantee or as a promise that something will happen. Its importance is religious and personal. For someone who values Buddhist practice, receiving a Mala that has been blessed by a Buddhist Monk can make the beads feel more personally connected to that tradition.

Blessed Mala Beads From Buddhist Monks in Thailand

One of the reasons people choose Monk Mala is the physical connection we have with Buddhist Monks in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We are not simply describing a necklace as “Monk blessed” because it sounds appealing.

When a Mala is offered with a Monk blessing, the Mala is taken to a Buddhist Monk in Thailand and presented for blessing before it is sent to the customer.

This is the process that allows us to offer Mala beads blessed by Monks in Thailand to customers around the world. Monk Mala is based in Chiang Mai, where we maintain relationships with Buddhist Monks and local people involved with traditional Mala and Buddhist practice.

How Are Mala Beads Blessed?

The exact blessing practice can vary according to the Monk, temple and Buddhist tradition. The important point is that the Mala is physically presented to a Buddhist Monk for blessing rather than simply being labelled “blessed” by the seller.

After your Mala has been prepared, it can be taken to a Buddhist Monk in Thailand for its blessing before being packaged and shipped. This gives the Mala a direct connection to the living Buddhist tradition in Thailand.

How Can You Tell if Mala Beads Are Genuine?

It can be difficult to determine whether a Mala is “genuine” simply by looking at a photograph online. The word authentic is widely used in the Mala industry, and sellers do not always explain exactly what they mean by it.

A good place to start is by checking the basic details of the Mala. Look for the number of beads, the bead size, the material used, the Guru Bead and the way the Mala is constructed. A reputable seller should be able to explain where the materials come from and how the Mala is made.

It is also worth looking beyond claims about spiritual powers. Traditional Mala materials have established cultural and religious associations, but these associations should not automatically be presented as scientific or supernatural properties.

At Monk Mala, we describe our Mala according to their actual materials, construction and traditional associations. Where a Mala has a specific connection to Buddhist Monks or Thailand, we explain that connection rather than making unsupported claims about what the beads can do.

Traditional Mala Bead Materials

Authentic Mala beads are made from many different natural materials. The material you choose is largely a matter of tradition, appearance, feel and personal preference. Different materials also have different cultural and religious associations.

Why Have Authentic Mala Beads Necklace Blessed by Monks?

Monk Mala Beads Blessed - The Beginnings

Monk Mala started to sell it’s real and authentic Mala Beads Blessed by Monks online as a result of many emails to our parent business from previous customers at Sak Yant Chiang Mai. At Sak Yant Chiang Mai we provide authentic Sak Yant Tattoo’s and as part of this service many customers wanted the Buddhist Monks to Bless their Mala Prayer Beads.

At the beginning many of the Buddhist Prayer Beads our Sak Yant guests brought with them were cheap fakes made in China they had purchased either online or at local street markets. While it is easy to find cheap Chinese made Mala in the Thai Markets (actually all over Asian street markets) – the Monks felt uncomfortable providing sacred blessings for substandard Buddhist Mala.

The Monks told us where they buy their own Monk Bead Necklaces, and suggested we also purchase Real and Authentic Buddhist Mala Beads which they would happily bless for our customers.

Over time many of the customers of Sak Yant Chiang Mai, wrote emails requesting our real and authentic Mala Bead Buddhist Necklaces, asking if we could have the Mala Prayer Beads at our shop blessed by the same Monk that did their Tattoo and mailed to them at home.

Monk Blessed Buddhist Prayer Beads

Over time, Sak Yant Started getting emails from people who have received our Blessed Buddhist Prayer Beads as gifts, wanting to purchase more. Many people having experienced an authentic Mala Beads Necklace that came with a Blessing by Monks could feel the energy and power that came with the Prayer Mala.

Do your Buddhist Mala Beads need to be Blessed by Monks?

Short answer is no they do not. As you use your Buddhist Mala Bead Necklace, you are transferring your intention, purpose and desires into the Mala. Over time and over use your mala necklace will be a symbolic and energetic representation of this purpose and will trigger a normal psychological reaction.

If you do not believe in the magic power of the Monks Blessing itself, the necklace is a subconscious representation that becomes associated with it’s purpose. Just like a positive affirmation each time you see or use the Buddhist Mala, it triggers a subconscious program designed to make this more of a reality. Thus like hypnosis, the act of using the mala triggers a whole system of beliefs and behavior change which become programmed into your personality and stronger with each use

If you believe in the power of thoughts and transference of energy, then in addition to a subconscious symbol, the Buddhist Prayer Beads are also a storage system for the positive intention of the energy you have spent in focus.

We have the Monks Bless the necklace mala, to start this process of having positive energy and association with the Mala. Be it used for protection, or as part of your spiritual growth, the Monks Blessing is the starting point – which you then reaffirm and recharge with your use and wearing of the Mala.
