The prayer beads use Yakusugi, a rare and high-quality material from Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Yakusugi is currently protected, with harvesting only permitted for fallen trees caused by natural events such as typhoons. This mystical wood, believed to embody divine presence, allows you to experience the life aura of ancient forests. Each bead, except for the main and end beads, is engraved with a verse from a sutra, making the entire bracelet equivalent to a complete recitation of the Heart Sutra. The Heart Sutra condenses the essence of the 600 volumes of the Great Prajna Paramita Sutra into 262 characters. Chanting the Heart Sutra is said to accumulate the merits of reciting all 600 volumes and removes all kinds of suffering and obstacles. π¨ CHECKOUT π¨ Please check your address before paying because we can ONLY ship to addresses that are entered before placing the order. π¨ SHIPPING π¨ Packages usually leave our warehouse within 10 days of payment.
