Excerpt: Buddhist prayer beads are a traditional tool used to count time while meditating using mantras. They are similar to other forms of prayer beads used in various world religions and to Christianity's Rosary; thus this tool has also been known as the Buddhist rosary. Set of Japa mala, made from Tulasi wood, with head bead in foreground.A Japa mala' or mala (Sanskrit:; , meaning garland) (Tib. threngwa) is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers, usually divisible by 9, are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa. Malas are typically made with 19, 21, 27, 54 or 108 beads. In Tibetan Buddhism, traditionally malas of 108 beads are used. Some practitioners use malas of 21 or 28 beads for doing prostrations. Doing one 108-bead mala counts as 100 mantra recitations.{5} Malas are mainly used to count mantras. These mantras can be recited for different purposes linked to working with mind. Material can vary according to the purpose of the mantras used. Some beads can be used for all purposes and all kinds of mantras. These beads should be made of the root or seed of the Bodhi Tree. Appeasing mantras should be recited using white-colored Malas. Materials such as crystal, pearl or mother of pearl are preferable. These can serve to purify mind and clear away obstacles like illness. There are 100 beads on this Mala. Increasing mantras should be recited using Malas of gold, silver, copper or lotus seeds...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1549944 |
