OM MANI CONCH SHELL MALA

The Conch shell is said to be “a gift from the stars” and is one of the eight auspicious symbols (Ashtamangala) in Tibetan Buddhism. This shell symbolizes great power and strength, both physically, as with the mighty warrior, and spiritually, as the mystic sage.

Om Mani translates as Auspicious Jewel. It is said that Vajrayana Buddhism absorbed the conch as a symbol which fearlessly proclaimed the TRUTH of the DHARMA. Among the eight symbols, the conch on which it is engraved stands for the PURITY of the Buddha's teaching, which spreads in all directions like the sound of the ceremonial conch trumpet.

This mala will assist one in living and sharing a life inside of PURITY and TRUTH.
