Description
In Buddhist tradition, prayer beads known as "malas" play a significant role in meditation, aimed at dispelling evil and achieving inner peace. These beads are often worn around the left wrist or neck, and during meditation, the practitioner repeats a specific mantra while counting the beads. Tassels at the end of each strand typically include extra beads for tracking tens and hundreds of recitations. A true mala comprises precisely 108 beads, a number considered auspicious as it is a multiple of 9 and 12, symbolizing the 9 planets and the 12 houses of the zodiac.
