Mala, traditional Tibetan Tantric Buddhist prayer beads. 108 buffalo bone beads. Prayers and meditation

The mala, trengwa, in Tibetan is the rosary of the Buddhist, the object which the monk (even the lay practitioner) almost never separates, holding it in the hand or wrapped around the wrist. The mala is first of all a utilitarian object: it serves as a tactile support for the recitation of mantras, at the same time as it is used to count them if one has set oneself to repeat a defined number. The mala is made up of 108 strung beads, which justifies its name, since it simply means "garland" (of beads). The different components each have a precise symbolic meaning: The large pearl (or Buddha's head) which closes the loop represents the knowledge of emptiness. The little cone on top of it is the mark of emptiness itself.
