Vajra Bodhi Tree

• The “Eye of Vajra,” Embodiment of Shiva’s Tears: The Hindu name for the Vajra Bodhi is “Rudraksha,” meaning “the eye of Shiva.” Legend has it that Shiva entered a deep meditation for the welfare of all beings in the world; when he opened his eyes, tears of compassion fell to the earth, from which the Vajra Bodhi tree grew. Its fruit is extremely hard, with a naturally uneven, grooved texture on its surface, and has been regarded since ancient times as a sacred object embodying the cosmic energies of stillness and rebirth.
   
• The Supreme Ritual Object of Esoteric Buddhism and the Vajrayana: The Buddhist *Sutra on the Merits of Counting Beads* explicitly states that reciting Buddha’s names and mantras while holding Vajra seeds (Rudraksha) yields immeasurable merit and blessings. In Japanese Esoteric Buddhism (such as the Shingon and Tendai schools), the Vajra Bodhi tree is an indispensable and supreme sacred object used in practices to subdue malevolent forces, ward off evil, and eliminate calamities. Its indestructible hardness symbolizes the ability to destroy all afflictions, negative karma, and malevolent spirits.

Vajra Bodhi seeds feature natural grooves (lines) on their surface. These lines distinguish the seeds by the number of faces they have, which collectors commonly refer to as “petal count (Mukhi).”
Depending on the number of grooves, their rarity and value can vary significantly:

• Common Mukhi: Five-mukhi is generally the most common.
• Extremely Rare Mukhi: Special configurations such as one-mukhi (extremely rare) or 13-mukhi and above are traded on the market at very high collector’s prices.
• Origin: India/Tibet
• Place of Origin: India/Tibet
