Heart Sutra Carving, Rosewood, Bale-Shaped Red Tiger's Eye Bracelet

A Bracelet Inscribed with the Full Heart Sutra

The beauty of this bracelet lies in the natural texture and form of the wood beads. The rosewood used here is a durable material long familiar in prayer bead craftsmanship. It sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to wear, making it a popular choice. Each bead is engraved with part of the Heart Sutra, and reading them in order reveals the full sutra, which teaches that all things in this world are 'emptiness' (ku) — a truth said to underlie all existence. This version is finished with red tiger's eye for a warm-toned bracelet.
