Buddhist Rosewood Malla / Power Beads

BUDDHIST MALLA BEADS

THE Malla is a Buddhist rosary. Buddhists chant a mantra, usually "Om mani padme hum" for each of the beads.

There are usually 108 beads on a malla as this is a very auspicious nimber in Buddhism, because according to ancient teachings there are 108 invisible thrads from each person to the divine.

Chanting a mantra 108 times awakens these threads and aids meditation.
