Rudrakshya mala is very powerful.
Buddhachitta mala are my best .

Of all the articles and videos I have searched through, this is by far the most informative! You have answered all my questions about Tibetan malas. Thank you so much for your time and efforts to make this!

[@mattfreeman7304]

I found this video to be beneficial. I re-learned some things that that I had forgotten or overlooked. I grew up with the rosary also.

[@cnablanca1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!!

[@dorgyalkhampa7484]

[@wordscapes5690]

I have found the chanting of mantras to be extremely unhelpful. But I know many do indeed find it rewarding.

[@RikthDcruze]

Hindus (North India) - Mala
Hindu (South India) - Malayi
Buddhist (Everywhere) - Mala
Wrist mala - 27+1 beads
Half mala - 54+1 beads
Full mala - 108+1 beads
Hindus don't have finger malas. Christians use them and call it rosary ring. you can get one for 10/- at a church.

[@MitjoRuohoniemi]

Thank you so much for this. Warm greetings from Finland. :) Tashi Delek!

[@tenzinkdolma5441]

Very nice. Thank you 🙏. I have seen and asked me some people want or did take shower with wooden mala, wrist mala or seed mala. Definitely no water on wood and seed mala they will be break up. So no water on those and putting/rubbing little oil in the palm with make them nice texture and will stay long time. In Tibetan for mala it's called Trengwa.

[@ashasingh7262]

Thank you Mr Erlewine.

[@VisionOfThePhoenix]

knowledge. thanks

[@ann-ingridhelik3056]

Thank you. I have been searching for answers about the tibetan mala and mantras for a while. I live out in the 'country' and it is not easy to go to a prayer circle with a Tibetan essence. Thank you again.

[@john81blaze]

Im not much into listening to youtube about these kind of things , but i realy absolutely loved this video....i didnt lmow much about any of what associated with malas exept the formula to make them....thank you for the depth of info on the materials used ....and why they are used

[@russellbuckinghamrb]

Quite simply, thank you.

[@ngedon]

Thank you! Well done.

[@CarolBlaneyPhD]

This was a very nice talk, thank you so much. Does anyone know why Indian rudraksha malas are frowned upon by tibetan buddhists? My roots are christian followed by zen and then tibetan buddhism, but lately interested in hinduism. any info appreciated. thanks.

[@AdrianToraino]

M Munroe of

[@mtm00]

A beautiful sharing. Thank you.

[@fadecgoncalves]

Please, I would like to thank you for the many useful information presented on in your site (RUclips). I ask: Why do we look for images of monks praying in their malas, do we see these malas with four, five or more counters? Is there any greater reason than simply counting the tens, hundreds, thousands, or millions of mantras?

[@kiratrai]

We counts thousands or millions for shiddhi

[@kirkbest3238]

I’ve heard it

[@chaznonya4]

I have been gifted an amethyst mala. Would like to know more about that.

[@domgreco7]

🙏🏼❤️

[@tleniczka]

I have wood mala beads. What is it for? Enrichment? Thank you and blessings to you

[@rozeelopchantamang6478]

Thank you for this information video. Could you also please tell what is the material of the mala you are using? So that we can also purchase the same in the market

[@_nomore]

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, with wisdom and humility. If I remember correctly, the index finger represents the Ego, so it is considered avoided when using a Mala, isn't it? Or perhaps it's my memory fault?

[@jays2924]

Buddhists use left hand pointer finger Hindus use right hand middle finger

[@Bigvader]

I have heard from other teachers that the index finger should not be used to count or move the beads as it is attributed to ego and can negatively charge the mala. On what basis do you teach differently? Thank you.

[@YelshayLove]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@Bigvader]

+YelshayLove From what I can tell, it seems to be mostly those of the Hindu tradition who are adamant about not utilizing the index finger. Adherents to Buddhist traditions, and especially Tibetan Buddhism, don't seem to place any importance such things, and will tell you that the intent is what matters. Still, it's hard to find a definitive answer.

[@RikthDcruze]

*You have mixed the information up.*
You mentioned Hindu mala tradition as Tibetan and the Tibetan as Hindu in many cases...
But overall good video.

[@shyambudhamagar9911]

I also have a necklace. What is the price?

[@P.C._Thingh]

🤣😂🤣the fact how Buddhist prayer sounds to foreigners. Great video though👍 kadrinchey

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

Why do some Mala cost $20,000 USD?

[@MinsterGames]

Cause there like 200 years old
