I gave the beads as a gift for a friend. He was so happy to get them. He just got out of the hospital and I gave them to him in my car. He instantly ran them through his fingers and beamed a smile. That was two weeks ago and he has had them on his wrist or near by ever since. Thank you. It means a lot as well that they were affordable. Priceless though, really.

My friend has been sleeping better since I gave her the amethyst mala. Her favorite color is purple and she hasn’t rested well since her husband died. The mala seems to be helping.

I am happy to support indigenous weavers and brought many textiles when I was there. I find the velcro a bit of a pain. I suggest the same head tie configuration with elastic. Much easier to use and if it is one piece of elastic, it adjusts perfectly. Nice work but is it hand woven or machined indigenous patterns?

Love these masks...Very comfy, and the added pouch for a filter is a big plus. And I really like being able to help out the Local Guatemalan economy a little bit too.

These masks look small at first, but then they open fully and leave breathing room. The adjustable straps don't hurt my ears, and the material is really sturdy. Unfortunately, I lost my mask two days after it came, and my husband will not share his, because he loves it!

I really like the masks. Just velcro the bottom tie around neck comfortably and then when you want to wear it over your face, you place the top tie over your head and into place. Pretty easy and fast. I love the colors, too.

Really like the non-over the ears straps. I ordered an earlier version and find the straps a little thin and hard to hook up with gloves on. The new order (2 for 1) I noticed the straps were bigger, but I haven't tried it yet. I wear glasses and find the fit tight enough to avoid foggy lenses. I have found that if I wear the mask steadily for some time the condensation in the mask (when I'm out in the cold) gets pronounced. Also I have been putting in filters for added safety. I would be n...

Like the mala beads .. nice company to deal with.. but I was told there was a link to download a guide on how to use the beads. Never saw it. Kind of dissapointed as it was a reason to order from this web site..

108 Bead Wenge Wood Mala

Love the shirt. I am a medium but get large so it can shrink down and it worked. The material is very soft, the design clear, soft on the skin (on the backside). I love how the shoulders are a little fuller as I have a bigger chest. I Will be buying another design again, and I am very very picky about my t-shirts.

I liked the concept of the design when I saw it and because it helped hard working people I decided to try them. They fit well and I really find them comfortable.

These masks are made of several thicknesses of fabric. The velcro on the straps holds them together. The masks are comfortable to wear, and the patterns are nice. I have four of them. I have washed them by hand and in the machine in a mesh bag on gentle cycle. They dry overnight.

I'm very happy with my new copper mala. I can feel the grounding properties. I look forward to adding more positive energy to my mala when meditating, praying and studying the Dao. I appreciate that this product has been blessed. I was very pleased with the pricing of all of products at Backpack Buddha. I feel that this is the beginning of a long relationship. I look forward to many more purchases. Thank you! Namaste family.🙏❤🙏

These things are surprisingly comfortable. Having extra room to talk and breathe makes all the difference. It takes a little practice learning to put them on at first, but it's worth doing.

The Mala beads arrived the day before my husband was rushed to the emergency room with his final illness. I grabbed them at 4:00 am on my way to the hospital and found great comfort in them during the following week.

I swear I have bought SO DAMN MANY MASKS and 95% of them did not work for one of these reasons.... 1. they have ties that tie in bow- your hair gets tangled in the bow and makes it come undone 2. they are too small so the elastic either pops off one ear or bends your ears forward like dumbo till one side slips off 3. they fog your glasses 4. you cannot breathe 5. they pop off your nose , or your chin, when you start to talk. HOW HARD CAN IT POSSIBLY BE TO DESIGN A MASK WITH NONE OF THESE ANNOYI...

I love this piece my only problem with it is it’s heavy. I have issues from injuries with my neck so it is a little heavy for me but the weight is also a result of high quality of the materials.

Absolutely love these masks. The design is fantastic. Lets me breath and speak perfectly, with plenty of room to spare for an N95. Not to mention, it's a beautiful pattern that stands out a bit from the others. My favorite mask. I plan to buy more, both for myself and to share!

Overall I like the design. However, it seems that my head is bigger than most. And extra few cm in the straps would be helpful. Also, the cloth around the nosepiece is already showing some wear. I suggest reinforcing it.

I love my elephant necklace! It is beautiful and a really high quality product! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves elephants! Also, although there was a small chip in it, they were great and sent me another one right away! Awesome service!

Thank you for this great product! I really love Buddha Bear, and this has been so nicely put together! I also love the videos I found of how the books are actually made! Thank you so much!

A friend posted about getting her new face mask from Backpack Buddha, and it sounded so nice, I immediately took a look myself. It looked like a great mask, with an environmentally-responsible manufacturer, so I ordered our own. Yes, this is a nice, large, comfortable mask, with hook-and-loop closures that go around your head, not on your ears. The mask unfolds to a nice comfortable fit around your face, without pinching, and the design keeps that fog away from my glasses. It's also made from lo...

This is a birthday present for my boyfriend so he hasn't gotten it yet. I know that he will really like it because I do ! The color is perfect and the design is unique. I like that the material is soft and good quality.

Golden Om Mandala

Sandra B.

I am new to Buddhism and trying to learn all I can about it. I find this little blue book to be very helpful because it emphasizes such things as gratitude at the end of the day, even for the smallest things like flower blossoms. After I finished the twenty-one day course, I missed so much that I simply started it over again! I keep it right on the bed, along with the yellow Everyday Enlightenment and The Buddha Bear coloring book and Buddha Bear himself. I consider it to be my very first altar...

Thank you very much. I wear on my left wrist for protection, grounding, and in meditation. The strength and construction are awesomely appreciated and a perfect fit for me. This Mala is Top Shelf 👌 without question!!!

Like not having straps around ears Much easier to breathe Almost no fogging of glasses Would enjoy different colors Would like it better if straps tied rather than velcro Would like to be able to throw in washing machine and dryer But the wishes are minor compared to the wonderful benefits

Blue and green together are my favorite “color”, and the depths of color here are impressive. Even the color of the cord. The piece itself is substantial to hold, but not heavy. The size of the beads keep the mala from being bulky, a pleasant surprise. It is always with me. As far as logistics, this item had the shortest order to delivery time of anything I’ve ordered this year.

I love everything I purchased! It just took a long time to get to me. Just received yesterday 3/16 and I think I ordered like 2/23. It's not your fault, I'm sure. We can blame USPS. However, it did arrive, and like I said, I love it all!!

As advertised, stays nicely away from my face. There is plenty of room to insert an additional mask inside if desired. Appears to be very well made. Love the Velcro straps since the elastic loop types annoy me greatly. I highly recommend this mask and its support of artisans

Wrapped around my wrist or draped over a small statue on my dresser, I am reminded of my wish for a compassionate life and world. The varied green stone is striking and calming. A significant purchase.

I loved it, as did the parents of the little girl who will be arriving soon. I would suggest a wider variety of colors. Blue and pink are kind of streeotypey. White really shows dirt. Adding a few more colors would be good.

I can't count how many times I've been told that "I like your face-mask" - and even "I have to say, again, how much I like your face-mask" (the last comment from a clerk in my local grocery store). I recommend your masks, and refer people to your website, as often as I get those comments - and always add that my purchase (and theirs will also) benefits a womens' collective - besides protecting myself and others from COVID-19 infection.

Over the years I’ve had a couple of backpacks. I use one daily to carry everything I need. The are amazingly strong and comfortable and this duffle bag is made with the same high standards and attention to detail. I love it! ❤️

Comfortable and well-designed masks wearing for hours at a time not a problem. There's room inside to add an extra layer of something if one feels the need. Overall, a great product

Ken S.

These are comfortable, and stay in place well. I use them while skiing, and do not have the usual problem of a wet mask on my mouth and nose. The sturdy straps and velcro adjustments are great. I get a lot of complements on them.

Jay K.

These masks are actually a work of art and extremely “covering” of all areas for safety! Thx u so much! I put a video on my Facebook account while wearing mask and explained the straps, and how to open cover for nose and chin/neck area! Thxs again! JKelly

I love wearing this while at work in the hospital .. it makes me Feel better especially when I rub the beads in my fingers to get and feel More grounded

I wear hearing aids and the masks that hook around one's ears often yank my hearing aids out when removing the mask. Your masks have become the only masks I will use. They are great for me. Thanks so much!

Lisa M.

Love that the beads were prayed by a Tibetan monk before they were sent to me. Love feeling that connection. I also just love having them with me. If I'm having a rough day I can do a circle or two, they're right there on my wrist.
