It's sun, moon and bodhi, and the dense points are sun, moon and stars. There is a slightly larger pit on each moon, only one month (as shown in the picture), which refers to the position of the moon in the Bodhi of the Sun and Moon. In the middle is the first month, usually a string of months. There is a big hole called Bodhi Eye in the sun, moon and stars, and then there are many dots around it, just like the stars holding the moon.

Xingyue Bodhi is the seed of the tropical plant Huangteng. The prototype of the seed is gray and irregular in shape, like a small ingot; All kinds of regularly shaped Bodhi seen in the market are products that have been polished in the later period. Due to the different wearing time, the color and smoothness of bodhi will be different. If you often wear or count the dial beads for chanting and holding spells, their color and smoothness will become higher and higher, the color will gradually become darker, and the whole will become more beautiful, even "like jade."

In the picture you provided, the beads of Xingyue Bodhi Buddha are abacus-shaped, the mother beads and tee joints are all made of copper, and the beads are separated by Tibetan silver. It can be seen that Tibetan monks like it. The beads have formed patina and are oily yellow, which should be used for long-term chanting and counting. It's good to collect it yourself or use it to recite spells and count spells.
