Mala Coral AA-quality with guru bead + little bag

The mala is mainly used for counting mantras during recitation. It fulfills the same function as a rosary (Catholic praying device). Beads made of (semi)precious stones, pearls, bodhi seeds or wood are suitable for different purposes, for counting mantras or other prayers, prostrations, circumambulations, etc. The string is the same in all types of mala and should be composed of nine threads that symbolise Buddha Vajradhara and the eight Boddhisattvas. The large bead at the end symbolises the wisdom that realises emptiness and the cylindrical bead above it symbolises emptiness itself. Together they symbolise that all obstacles have been overcome.

The mala, which consists of 108 beads, is used for recitation or the singing of mantras. The number 108 is the perfect number for all purposes. It is of importance that our motivation is pure during recitation. Mantra is the practical use of positive energies to help us grow and is a protection for our mind. Mantra is a collection of syllables from the (Tibetan or Sanskrit) alphabet. The effect is realised by repetition and becomes deeper with more repetition. The sound produced during recitation is of vital importance. The vibration of the sound creates a unique spiritual imprint in the mind of the person who is reciting the mantras. It is said a mantra is like a person; it needs to go through different phases before the actual result is obtained: purification of mental imprints. There are different mantras, some carry the highest potential of healing already inside them. These mantras are only to be transmitted from master to student, from Guru to Disciple and are called 'Siddha Mantras'.
