Make a mala! 20 months ago

I found that I could make my own mala here:

Bought one. If I feel like making one in the future, I’ll get the stuff to do it.



Mala Making 2 years ago

Traditional Buddhist Malas have 108 beads. Muslim beads have 99, so the owner can recite the 99 names of G*d. Some people use Chakra beads which are strung in the order of the colours of the Chakras. I bought my first set of beads in October. I did not like the cheap tassel that came on it, so I removed it and added a luxurious new one. Now I am collecting special beads to make a 108 bead Mala to use during meditation. There are many wonderful sites on the ‘net about Malas, their history and uses.



I did it! 3 years ago

I went to a craft shop in Sheffield yesterday and bought beads, needles and thread, and last night I sat down and made my mala. It has 54 beads, and the tube-shaped ones are intended to be spacers.

I found the instructions on www.thepeacebeads.com and they were very useful.



I bought one, but still want to make one 4 years ago

I was in a shop in Saugerties, NY that sells lots of Tibetan rugs, art, and such. I was looking for a nice wrist mala, but a seed and turquiose full mala jumped out at me. So I got it.
