Heart Sutra Carving 8mm Agate Bracelet

A Piece Carved with the Heart Sutra

This agate bracelet, known for the vivid red that brightens the wearer's look, has the Heart Sutra carved across its beads. Agate is said to bring courage to those who wear it and help build smooth relationships. Its name comes from a resemblance, in formation and shape, to a horse's brain. Each bead is engraved with a portion of the sutra, and reading them all in order gives the full Heart Sutra, which teaches that all things in this world are 'emptiness' (ku) — a truth said to underlie all existence. A distinctive bracelet for anyone looking for something a little different.
