上師珠

Features of 上師珠

Gandhanra Guru Beads are the sacred centerpiece of every Tibetan mala, handcrafted from authentic materials including Turquoise, Dzi Stone, Yak Bone, and Sandalwood. Each Guru Bead features the traditional T-drilled 3-hole design, allowing the tassel cord to pass through correctly. Available in single beads and complete decorative sets including marker beads, tassel beads, and bead clips for a full DIY mala build.

How to Use 上師珠

Thread your mala cord through the vertical hole of the Guru Bead, then pass the tassel cord through the two horizontal holes to secure it in place. The Guru Bead marks the beginning and end of each 108-bead circuit — when your thumb reaches it during mantra recitation, reverse direction without crossing over it. Pair with matching Spacer Beads and a Counter Clip to complete your mala.

Why Choose Handmade 上師珠

Each Gandhanra Guru Bead is individually sourced from Tibetan artisan workshops, ensuring authentic materials and traditional craftsmanship. Whether you choose a classic Turquoise Guru Bead, a rare Dzi Stone variant, or a hand-carved Yak Bone piece, every bead carries genuine spiritual significance rooted in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Our complete DIY sets make it easy to build or restore a mala with professional-quality components.
