Sandalwood mala beads
Malas are Buddhist prayer beads, called threngwa in Tibetan. Mala is a Sanskrit word meaning “garland”. They are used as a tool to keep a count of mantra recitation and help focus one’s awareness and concentration during spiritual practice.
Long malas have 108 beads. The head bead is called the guru bead. In Tibetan Buddhism, one mala constitutes 100 recitations of a mantra. There are 8 additional recitations done to ensure proper concentration.
Sandalwood beads are believed to enhance your meditation, stimulate a sense of awareness and foster tranquillity.
