Question 1: How to distinguish the authenticity of bodhi seeds/methods

Feel: Bodhi seeds are mostly grass seeds or tree seeds, so the skin will be rough before polishing, natural The outer layer of the fruit will feel prickly to the touch. After polishing, the surface will be more or less uneven due to plant growth. So first of all, in terms of hand feel, Bodhi seeds are not necessarily particularly smooth. If they have not experienced high-intensity polishing, they rarely have a smooth appearance.

2

Texture: Natural bodhi seeds will have various appearance textures, and the surface will have natural texture regardless of whether it has been processed or not. Some textures are like hidden ravines, some textures are like abstract patterns, some textures are vaguely visible dark lines, and some appear as irregular scratches, etc. Everyone should note that the texture of each bodhi seed has its own characteristics, and no two are exactly the same.

3

Texture: The natural characteristics of Bodhi seeds determine its constituent elements. The same characteristics of tree species and grass seeds that can be used as Bodhi seeds are hard texture, stable material and long-term stability. The more they are used, the brighter they become. The color of new beads is light, and the color changes from light to dark after being used for a long time. Bodhi seeds will be charred or even burned when exposed to fire, and will emit the smell of burning plants. If there is a chemical smell, it is an imitation. During use, it will be damaged to varying degrees if exposed to blisters, dry heat, or strong winds. If there is no reaction, it may be made of synthetic materials.

Old-fashioned: Nowadays, many so-called old bodhi seeds, bodhi seeds that are decades or hundreds of years old, have emerged in the market. They mostly appear on seeds such as King Kong, Xingyue, and Phoenix Eyes. Most of the old seeds on the market are made by various artificial means, and you will be deceived if you are not careful. There are many ways to make them old, including soaking in medicine, boiling in oil, high and low temperature, etc., which ordinary players cannot identify with the naked eye. Then the merchants add some fictitious stories to exaggerate it, causing many friends to spend a lot of money to buy back the bodhi seeds. It's just a defective product that has been faked and worn out.

Question 2: How to identify the authenticity of Bodhi seed... It is very simple to first observe the color and texture of Bodhi seed. The texture is generally divided into gold thread, silver thread and iron thread. It is mostly dark and not very bright. And it’s very heavy to pick up. Secondly, take a little water and put it on it. The hydrophilic part is really not trustworthy. If you are really worried, get some crumbs and burn them. When burned, it will turn into charcoal. If it really has an odor, it’s fake. That’s all. Just do it by hand.

Question 3: Teach you how to identify the true and false Bodhi roots. The Bodhi tree is the most solemn and noble plant in the hearts of Buddhists. This is because according to historical and Buddhist records, the founder of Buddhism had a great relationship with this plant when he founded the religion. Now Bodhi root is also widely used in the manufacture of Buddhist beads. So, how do we judge whether the bodhi root is true or false? Because we don’t understand the characteristics of the Bodhi plant, we feel that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the Bodhi root. In order to promote Buddhist culture, let me introduce to you the authenticity of Bodhi root. First judge from the shape. The beads of Bodhi Root are not perfectly round, but have some curvature like a watermelon. From the color point of view, the color of bodhi root beads is generally milky white or brown. If other colors appear, it basically cannot be authentic. From a tactile point of view, it feels a bit sticky like resin. If they all match, it’s basically genuine. Furthermore, if you recite the Buddha's name frequently, the feeling will become very uncomfortable over time. This is the nature of Bodhi.

Question 4: How to distinguish the authenticity of Xingyue Bodhi Buddha beads? However, due to Buddhism's love for Xingyue Bodhi beads, some fake imitations have generally appeared on the market. So how do we identify the authenticity of Xingyue Bodhi beads?

The identification method is as follows:

1. Take out one and burn it with fire. If it melts and has a plastic smell, it is fake. If it has a normal burnt smell, it is real.

2. If you are reluctant to part with it, just prick it with a red-hot steel needle. I don’t need to tell you about the reaction between plastic and nature.

3. There are many kinds of Bodhi Buddha beads, and the prices vary, but only those with obvious patina on the surface for a long time will be expensive. It doesn’t matter the price when chanting Buddha’s name, as long as it’s made with genuine materials.

This is how I understand the issue of the authenticity of Buddhist beads:

I once bought a string of bodhi root beads at a temple. Because they were so perfect, milky white, and grainy They are all the same size and very smooth. I have also thought about it, is this true? But later I felt that this was not important. What was important was to use the rosary beads to record the number of times I recited the Buddha's name. Pick up a bead every time you recite the name of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Some Buddha names or mantras have to be recited millions of times. So much information is blessed on the rosary. Even if it is false, I think it has become true? Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether it is true or false, and you should hurry up and recite the Buddha's name. Only by reciting the Buddha's name can one resolve life and death. Whether or not one has the true rosary has nothing to do with Buddhism and the resolution of life and death, so why should one care?

Question 5: How to test the authenticity of Xingyue Bodhi? There seems to be no authenticity of Xingyue Bodhi. The so-called fake Xingyue Bodhi may be shoddy and low-quality Xingyue Bodhi. There are several Identification method.

1. Look at the color and surface gloss

This is the water-milled and bleached Xingyue Bodhi Seed.

You can see that the surface is very bright, similar to the luster of glass or plastic products.

The color is pale.

These are water-milled seeds, and the next two bunches are water-milled but unbleached seeds.

The density of this kind of water-milled seeds is very low. Basically, it will break into pieces after being played for a short time.

2. Look at the stars and car marks to determine whether it is dry polished and the star and moon density

This is the water mill star and moon. The stars on the surface of the Bodhi seed are concave, which means the density is low. performance.

At the same time, you can also see that there are no obvious car marks on the surface of Xingyue Bodhizi.

This is the effect of enlarging the surface of high-density stars and moons by dry grinding. You can clearly see the stripes of wear marks.

At the same time, you can see that the surfaces of stars and stars and moon bodhi seeds are parallel.

After the dry-milled Xingyue Bodhi seeds are played with, the surface will shine and the pieces will open. But the gloss is very different from that of water-polished ones.

At the same time, the dry-milled Xingyue Bodhi seeds will not break into pieces after being opened, but will only crack normally on the surface.

3. The prices vary greatly.

As the knowledge of cultural games gradually becomes popular, the cultural games market gradually eliminates some low-end cultural games. Nowadays, it is rare to see water-milled and bleached Xingyue Bodhi seeds in major cultural and toy markets in Beijing. Basically it's all dry grinding.

Dry-ground seeds are currently the most sold in the market, mainly in two shapes: barrel beads and drum beads (apple orchard).

Generally, barrel beads are a few tens of yuan more expensive than Pingguoyuan. There are various sizes, the common ones are 9*7, 10*8, 11*9, 12*8, 9*9, 10*10, etc. There are also many special shapes, such as melon ridges, water drops, mushrooms, lotus flowers, etc.

For common sizes and styles, the general market transaction price ranges from 300-1,000 yuan.

Nowadays, there are still some with gems inlaid in the moon holes, which are very beautiful.

Due to the complicated workmanship and the high price of gemstones, the price of inlaid star and moon Bodhi seeds is much higher than that of ordinary stars and moon. If you are a new player, it is recommended to start with entry-level stars and moons, buy a string of dry-rubbed stars and moons in good condition, and play with them carefully. After three winters and two summers, you will get a string of old stars and moons in brand new condition. , the fun and sense of accomplishment can only be experienced slowly by oneself.

I hope it can be helpful to you and welcome to communicate.
