$218.00 USD

Soto Zen crystal prayer beads made with pink aventurine.


These prayer beads are made of standard crystal and pink aventurine.
Crystal is the most common material for prayer beads, and it is said to bring harmony to the home and workplace because adjacent crystals are formed at a certain angle.

Aventurine is a popular power stone that stabilizes the mind and bestows peace of mind.
Aventurine is also called Indian jade, and many people may associate it with green, but it also comes in cute pink and orange colors.


About the Soto Zen sect

The shape of the Soto Zen prayer beads is very similar to that of the Rinzai Zen sect, but a distinctive feature of the Soto Zen sect is that the prayer beads have metal rings running through them.
It is unclear why it is included, but one theory is that the ring represents Bodhidharma.
