More details about malas

What is a mala ?
The mala (Tengwa, in Tibetan, Look-Pakam in Thai) may be considered a rosary. Worn as a multi-lap bracelet or necklace, the mala is a prayer and meditation bracelet that has been worn for thousands of years by Buddhist, Hindu or spiritual seekers.
It usually consists of 108 beads made of wood, grain or stone, and one bead larger or different from the others at the end of the Mala (called Meru, in reference to the sacred Mount of Meru, which would be the Mount of the universe).

The history of Mala:
Created in India more than 3000 years ago, mala has its roots in Hinduism, Buddhism, meditation and yoga.
The term "Mala" is a word in Sanskrit (language of Hindu and Buddhist religious texts) which means "garland of meditation". Originally, malas were mostly used for a special style of meditation called "Japa" which means "reciting". This is why mala are sometimes called "Japa mala". It is also commonly called : Buddhist bracelet, Tibetan bracelet, Chinese bracelet or lucky necklace.
During your meditation sessions, you must repeat a mantra 108 times, using your mala to help you count. A mantra is a word or sound repeated during meditation to help you focus. In more simplified terms, a mantra is the condensed formula of a prayer.
For example, one of the best-known mantras is the Tibetan Mantra of great compassion (Om maṇi padme hūm), which can be translated as "Hail To You, O jewel hidden in the lotus".
Most malas are composed of 108 beads, but nowadays we find Buddhist bracelets much shorter, and composed of 10-20 beads maximum.

Why 108 beads ?
The number 108 has deep spiritual significance in Buddhist and Hindu cults.
Here are some of these best known meanings :

• The heart chakra: the chakras are the places of exchange of energy between the body and the external environment. There are 108 energy lines in total, which converge together to form the heart chakra. The heart chakra is a center of balance linking the physical and spiritual aspect of a person.
• The Upanishads (or Upanisads): set of 108 sacred and philosophical texts forming the theoretical basis of the Hindu religion.
• The numbers 1, 0 and 8 : in Hinduism, the number 1 represents God, 0 means the emptiness and humility found in spiritual practice and the 8 symbolizes the infinite.
• In Buddhism, there are 108 sins to avoid, and 108 virtues to cultivate.
• The 108 feelings : according to Buddhists, there are 108 feelings. 36 in connection with the past, 36 in connection with the present and 36 in connection with the future.
• Name of Gods and goddesses: in Hinduism, some gods and goddesses have 108 different names. Buddha also has 108 names.
• The Earth and The Sun: the diameter of the sun is about 108 times larger than the diameter of the Earth. The distance from The Sun to the Earth is 108 times the diameter of The Sun.
• Attaining enlightenment: Buddha had to undergo 108 trials to rise and attain enlightenment.
• Spiritual sufferings: there are 108 spiritual sufferings (kleshas) in Buddhism.
• Mudras: there are 108 spiritual gestures in tantra.
• The 108 Yoga positions and 108 Tai Chi movements.

How to use a mala ?
Malas can be used in different ways, not just for religious purposes.
Nowadays, the mala is increasingly used in the context of fashion, as an accessory or jewelry. It can also be used for prayer recitation (regardless of worship) and meditation.

In the practice of meditation, the mala can be used as a counter. Like a simple rosary, it can objectively mark the duration of each session.
When reciting prayers or mantras, each repetition will be associated with a bead, allowing you to count exactly how many times you will repeat your mantra or prayer. When you reach the Meru (Pearl different from the others), it indicates that the turn of the mala is completed.

Some people also use the mala during Yoga practice, in order to use it as a fixing point, and to infuse it with energy released during the Yoga session.

In Buddhism, the mala is held with the left hand, and is held with the right hand with the help of the index finger and thumb. This gesture symbolizes taking beings out of suffering and charging one's body with positive energy. In Hinduism, the mala is held with the right hand, the left hand being considered impure.

And finally, for people with no interest in meditation, religion or yoga, wearing a mala can simply help you feel better. Indeed, in Chinese popular belief, mala helps to purify itself, and repel negative energies and evil spirits.
No matter how you use it, your mala must first and foremost carry a personal and unique meaning only to yourself !

How to maintain and clean your mala ?
This is a question I often ask ...
There are several ways to maintain his mala, whether in a physical or spiritual way.
In my opinion, the best way to maintain his mala is to wear it as often as possible, and to raise it regularly. Regardless of the material of the mala (wood or stone), the simple fact of the grainer will make it possible to polish the wooden or stone beads, and reveal the heart of its material.
It should be noted that it is better to avoid bathing or douching by wearing the mala, the water that can seep into the wood and inflate it.

On a more spiritual level, mala can be maintained in 3 ways:

• Exhibition in the light of the sun and/or moon: Leave your trunk a few hours under the light of the sun or the moon. If your mala is made of wood, it can be used to revive its scent.
• Exposure to incense smoke: The beads of your mala can absorb the smoke, the imbibant of its smell.
• Vibrations du son et de la musique: Réciter un mantra, utiliser un bol chantant Tibetan ou des chants et musiques ances to create a vibration that will purify your trunk.

Again, remember that the mala is a personal object, and its use depends only on you and you alone! Whether it is used as a rosary of meditation and prayer, or a bracelet is lucky or even as a fashion accessory, the mala must first help you to feel good ...
