As above.
After much searching around my neighbourhood for buhddist chanting beads. I finally found one. But the price somehow hit me with a shock, 38 bucks i bought it and thats thankfully, the boss offered me that price, as he said this beads can cost 60 plus.
Well,to the main topic. Zacken, can tell me more about this beads and is it suitable for my chanting?
hi,
all chanting beads are sutible for chanting..
the usage of chanting bead is basically serve as a counter..
usually, we prac chanting a mantra 108 times , so the beads usually come in 108, so after 1 mantra hv being chant, 1 bead will b move to another side, so by moveing 108 beads aside, we will know , we had chant for 108 times loh..
if you want you can follow how usually i practise.
1> before chanting, i will hold my chanting beads on top of the incense for a while
2> then i will chant
OM LU XI LAH MA NI
ZHA ER WAH TAH
YAH
HONG X 7 TIMES
3> AFTER CHANTING, I WILL BLOW ON THE BEADS
4> START MY CHANTING LOH! :)
Never know there are steps to it. Thanks :)
Whats the chant for?
The mantra is to empower the chanting beads,
so that every single time of the mantra that we chant will become a strong one not a mantra that is without energy...
so expensive or cheap chanting beads are all ok loh??
Cos I saw chanting beads at China town, $5 nia... red wooden colour and also white wooden ones...
yesh ofcos...
doesnt mean u gt expensive beads then ur chanting is good...
money dun mean anything in buddhism..
a $5 beads, if u use it to chant everyday with sincereity, each and every of the beads will be empowered by the mantra, and soon this beads became auspicious object...it will eventually become 1,000,000 the value of its original price..
