In contemplative tradition this kind of time-softened material is used as a reminder that nothing is meant to stay sharp or new. Bodhi seed comes from the Ficus religiosa tree, the same species under which the Buddha attained awakening; bodhi malas have been the standard Buddhist counting tool for over two thousand years.
