MALA ROSARY flat beads in bovine bone (domestic ox) Tibetan 10 mm Dominant color: Brown/Beige REF 310112/S3/8252 Circumference of the mala: approximately 54 cm Weight: 60g +/- 5g The mala (tengwa, in Tibetan, Look-Pakam in Thai) is the Buddhist rosary, faithful companion of the practitioner who often holds it in his hand, wrapped around his wrist or around his neck like a necklace. The word mala means in Sanskrit "necklace of flowers" or "garland of pearls". This is a rosary grouping 108 beads that can symbolize depending on the country: -the 108 ordeals that the Buddha underwent to achieve enlightenment and the 108 names of the Buddha - the 108 passions that the faithful must overcome in order to approach their ideal of meditation and asceticism. - The 108 mudra (ritual gestures) in Tantra. - The 108 body positions in Yoga. - The 108 fires lit in Japan in the ceremonies of the cult of the dead. - The 108 Outer Tombs, at Mount Hiei near Kyoto, Japan. These 108 beads of the Buddhist rosary would come from the sum of the 12 months, the 24 arrangements in which the solar calendar was divided, and the 72 divisions of the Chinese year into periods of 5 days: 12 + 24 + 72 = 108. According to another very ancient tradition in the East, the importance of the number 108 derives from 10800 which multiplies the number of moments in the year and the number of verses in the Rig-Veda. - There are, in the East, 108 weaknesses, such as illusion, desires, hatred, attachment, pride, etc... which correspond to the 108 beads of the Buddhist rosary. These 108 weaknesses are called the 108 karmic bonds. - After the death of the Buddha, Padma-Sambhava, the great Tibetan guru who restores esotericism in Tibet, would have hidden and preserved the 108 most sacred writings which were revealed to him in the celestial worlds - akashic archive - in the world of men and the Kingdom of the Nagas - or adepts. He hid them on the border from Nepal to northern Tibet. - In Hinduism, there are 108 representations of the poses - sacred dances - of the Nastya Shastra, there are 108 Upanishads, 108 names of Vishnu in the Mahabharata and 108 names for Shiva."
