You will always see the monks as well as lay people using them while walking around the stupas temples or monasteries.

These handcrafted bone beads are a great reminder of impermanence and living in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE MALA :\u003cbr\u003e\nBone is a traditional material used in malas in both Nepal and Tibet. Bone represents the earth and our connection to it. Bone is also said to signify strength and to amplify prana (life force energy). Bone is traditionally used in males to represent the transience of life and remind us to treasure every day. This mala is made of yak bone from the animals that died of natural causes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Buddhist practice revolves around impermanence.  We live only in the present moment and it is helpful to remember that nothing lasts.  Skulls are featured prominently in Tibetan symbolism and many of our DharmaShop customers are fond of this reminder that nothing lasts forever.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBead Size: \u003cbr\u003e\n15mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSuggested Mantras for this Mala:\u003cbr\u003e\nAham Brahma Asmi\u003cbr\u003e\nOm Mani Padme Hum\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Om Mani Padme Hum\" To Chenrezig\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Om Muni Muni Maha Muni ye soha\" To Lord Buddha Shakyamuni\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Om Tare Turi Tutari Turi Soha\" To White Tara\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Tayatha Om Bekatse Bekatse Maha Bekatse Raza Samu Gati Soha\" To Healing Medicine Buddha.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIntentions for this Mala: \u003cbr\u003e\nEnergy \/ Vitality\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA NOTE ABOUT BONE BEADS :\u003cbr\u003e\n In the Himalayas, it is typical for large animals such as yak or water buffalo to be used for service, food, clothing, and ritual items.
