What is a mala?

A mala is a prayer bead traditionally used in various spiritual practices, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and other Asian religious and spiritual traditions. It is often composed of 108 beads, although some malas may have a different number of beads, sometimes a multiple of 108. Each bead symbolizes a mantra recited during meditation, facilitating concentration and spiritual connection.

  The joint use of the Dorje and the Tibetan bell is a sacred practice in Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing the union of wisdom (bell) and compassion (Dorje). The Dorje, representing masculine energy, is held in the right hand, while the Tibetan bell, representing feminine energy and wisdom, is held in the left hand. Together, these two ritual objects are used in meditations and ceremonies to harmonize energies, dispel negative energies, and achieve spiritual balance. This practice is essential for purifying the mind and advancing on the path to enlightenment.
