About Us....

Welcome to  Sakura Designs, LLC, and our web shop BUDDHISTMALA.COM and Sakuradesigns.com. Our small artisan company of meditation practitioners from the Rocky Mountains of Boulder, Colorado, offers personalized prayer bead designs. We have been handcrafting malas since 1994, and take great care in creating each and every piece. Our malas are made one at a time, to order.  We use only real, semiprecious stones, fine authentic sandalwoods and ambers, as well as traditional Tibetan Bodhi Seeds. A portion of monthly proceeds are offered to our Dharma communities including: http://www.shambhala.org and http://www.pundarika.org. Enjoy our site, and we'd really love to hear from you  anytime with questions, comments, feedback or greetings!

Please be sure to visit our Testimonial Page, and if you would like to ask any questions about our craftsmanship or have a reference from from previous customers, let us know!

 

 

Your Mala-

All of the full sized (108 bead) Buddhist malas that we hand craft, here in the US, are offered a complimentary mala bag, and are fitted with an authentic three holed guru bead and tassel. (Imported Malas are offered malas bags separately) Sakura Designs malas are then carefully packaged and finished with a gift box or a sheet of Japanese Was hi Paper that can be used as a gift card. It is traditional to have your mala blessed by your spiritual teacher if you have one. From time to time, you can "purify" your mala by holding it over burning incense, a native American Sage smudge-stick or juniper.

 

Why We Make Malas

"It is our intention that we help fellow dharma friends make their own special mala, and through it's use, create calmness that frees the user from suffering. With small steps, we can all work toward creating peace."

Broken Mala or Unstrung Beads !!? We will restring your existing mala if it was purchased from us, with the finest materials available for $18.00+sh/materials. Please contact us ahead of time if you would like to purchase extra beads, silver, or upgrade to a silk tassel ($15.00).

*Buddhistmala.com Guarantee- We want you to be pleased with your purchase. If you are unsatisfied with your mala for any reason, let us know within 10 days of receipt, and we will either restring it for a small fee or credit. If your mala, made by us, breaks within one month of purchase from normal use, we will restring it at no extra charge.

All Malas are made to order, and as with all natural stones, actual colors will vary slightly from web images. Customers can specify the color of the three "marker beads"  used to divide Mala and tassel color. We will do our best to accommodate custom requests with materials available. Each piece is considered a "work of art" and slight substitutions with the marker bead and tassel colors are sometimes offered at the designers' discretion.  Malas will be sent as close to the web image as possible depending on available materials, if no custom requests are required. Complimentary Mala bag is offered in assorted colors, and we make the best effort to choose a harmonious color and style. If you'd like you Mala redesigned or if your mala breaks, we offer restringing service  for $18.
