Now, years later, Kim and her friends who are all stay-at-home moms are making our malas in the small, sweet town of, (can you believe it?), Sistersville, WV!<br /><br />Across the planet, in the barren Eastern plains of Tibet, Dowa Drolma and her sister-in-laws, also make our malas. These malas are part of our non-profit, Tara Malas, which created a self-sustaining cottage industry for the Nangchen Nuns in Tibet. After being made by Dowa Drolma, the malas are taken by Tashi, who I now refer to as my dear Tibetan son, to the Rinpoche of the nunnery where they are placed in their prayer room for a month to be infused by the prayers and blessings of these nuns who have spent their lives praying for all us. After a month, Tashi mails the blessed malas to me to be sold on their behalf.<br /><br />What is most amazing is this life that receives our dreams and makes them a reality! <br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///Users/ibook/Desktop/100_4133.JPG" alt="" /><img src="file:///Users/ibook/Desktop/100_4133.JPG" alt="" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356054090109103249-2512975917236120839?l=mantramalacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mantra mala creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938016907109566928noreply@blogger.com0
