Mala Beads

Mala is a word from the Sanskrit language of ancient India and Nepal, it translates to “garland” in English. There is a text from the 4th century BCE known as the Mokugenji Sutra. It was from this text that the number of 108 beads in a mala originated, but there are many suggestions that the Buddha derived the importance of the number 108 to ancient times. Mala is a string of beads used traditionally to count mantras (prayer) while meditating. Mala beads are also worn as a necklace or bracelet to accompany meditation practice for spiritual growth and other personal reasons.
